2022 Jaguar F-Pace — MOT failures & pass rate
5,637 MOT tests on the 2022 Jaguar F-Pace are in this dataset, and 93.4% of them passed. Against mid-size SUVs of a similar age (7.7% fail rate), the 2022 F-Pace comes out 1.0pp better. Failures cluster in visibility, tyres and lighting & signalling.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — visibility (3.9%) and tyres (2.3%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, headlamp aim and malfunction indicator lamp — wipers alone was recorded 227 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the 2022 F-Pace fails 5.3% of the time in the 0-30k band and 8.6% at 60-90k, a spread of only 3.2 points.
The petrol cars hold up better: 5.7% fail against 7.4% for hybrid, a 1.7-point gap across 2,535 tests.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 10.8% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a 2022 F-Pace
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: visibility accounted for 3.9% of tests. Start there.
- Visibility (3.9% 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 (2.3% 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 (1.1% 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.
