2019 Jaguar F-Pace — MOT failures & pass rate
43,642 MOT tests on the 2019 Jaguar F-Pace are in this dataset, and 90.1% of them passed. That is effectively the same as mid-size SUVs of a similar age (9.5% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Failures cluster in visibility, tyres and lighting & signalling.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — visibility (4.1%) and tyres (3.5%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, tread depth and brake pads — wipers alone was recorded 1,627 times.
Condition tracks the odometer closely. Failures run at 7.3% in the 0-30k band and 13.3% in the 120-150k band, a 6.0-point spread.
The petrol cars hold up better: 8.3% fail against 10.3% for diesel, a 2.0-point gap across 43,642 tests.
Brakes is the most common advisory, noted on 19.4% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.
The trend is worsening — 5.8% of tests failed in 2021 against 11.0% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a 2019 F-Pace
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: visibility accounted for 4.1% of tests. Start there.
- Visibility (4.1% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
- Tyres (3.5% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Lighting & signalling (2.4% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
