In 2025, 47,183 Jaguar F-Pace cars had a regular MOT in Great Britain. 84% passed first time, compared with 81% for all cars of the same ages, which makes the F-Pace about average. Adjusted for age, it ranks 82 of the 217 most-tested car models.
That comparison matters: older cars fail more often, so a raw pass rate flatters models that are mostly young. We compare each model against every car on the road at the same age.
Pass rate by age
At 3 years old, 90% of F-Paces passed first time (all cars that age: 88%). By 9 years, that figure is 82% (all cars: 75%). It beats the average car at every age with enough data, from 7 to 9 years.

What to check when buying a used F-Pace
Based on where the F-Pace fails more often than other cars, these are the checks worth making before you buy:
- Plates and VIN: Check the number plates are legal and the VIN matches the V5C logbook. More
- Steering: Feel for play or knocking through the wheel, and check power-steering fluid isn’t leaking. More
- Visibility: Check the windscreen for chips in the driver’s view, the wipers for smearing and the washers for working jets. Repair guide
Then check the individual car: its own MOT history will show whether it follows the pattern. A car with repeated advisories in the same weak area is more likely to fail its next test.
