Jaguar model reference
Jaguar F-Type
What our record holds on the F-Type: the body styles and fuel types it was sold in here, and the road tax a used one pays. The UK sales period is not recorded, and this page says so rather than estimating it.
No reliability figure is published for the Jaguar F-Type that this site could cite. What circulates instead is survey data from panels that select themselves, and warranty claim rates published by companies with something to sell.
Any percentage would be our own calculation. Which years count, and whether a facelift and a new generation sharing the F-Type name are one model or two, both move the answer, and neither choice is anybody official's.
So the field does not exist. We do not average the other Jaguar models into a number and put it here, and we do not push a marque figure down onto the F-Type. What is real and specific is the paperwork for one car.
No fault ordering is published for the F-Type
A 2019 V6 pays the standard rate of £200, and it will have carried the £440 supplement for five years from its second licence given the list price.
That figure is a worked example for the year and engine named, not a rate for every F-Type. Read the CO2 figure and the first registration date off the V5C before you budget, because both change the answer.

Buying a used F-Type: what the record settles
The UK sales period for the F-Type is not recorded in the dataset behind this page, so that row is empty. An approximate range would be a guess, and a guess would be worse than nothing here: the years a car was on sale decide which road tax regime it falls under, which is the main reason anybody looks the dates up. It came in 2 body styles here, coupé and convertible, with one fuel type, petrol.
Which road tax regime a F-Type falls under depends entirely on the first registration date printed on its V5C. Before 1 March 2001 is engine size, 1 March 2001 to 31 March 2017 is CO2 bands, and 1 April 2017 onwards is the flat standard rate. Check the document, not the model name.
For running costs the fuel matters more than the badge. On a convertible, put your hand in the footwell carpet and look at the roof drainage channels: blocked ones send rainwater inside rather than out through the sill, and the repair is trim and corrosion rather than a roof motor.
None of that is a substitute for the record of the actual car. The invoices name what was replaced, when and at what mileage, and the same job appearing twice in three years says more about a F-Type than any statistic about the model ever could. A mileage that goes backwards across a paperwork trail is worth walking away from whatever the badge is.
Jaguar has carried the name since 1935 and sits with Land Rover inside Jaguar Land Rover. It stopped taking UK orders for its petrol and diesel range during 2024 while it prepares an electric relaunch, so for now it is effectively a used market marque here. The aluminium bodied XE, XF and F-Pace need a bodyshop with the right training after an accident, which is worth checking in the history of any car you look at. That is context on the marque rather than on this car, and there is more of it, along with every other model line, on the Jaguar page.
