2022 Jaguar F-Type — MOT failures & pass rate
The 2022 Jaguar F-Type passed 93.5% of its 977 recorded MOT tests. That is 1.5 percentage points better than coupes & convertibles of a similar age, which fail at 7.9%. Failures cluster in tyres, lighting & signalling and visibility.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (3.8%) and lighting & signalling (1.2%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, headlamp aim and registration plates — tread depth alone was recorded 17 times.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 14.3% of tests without failing them.

Top advisory categories
Advisories aren't failures, but they flag work likely needed soon — useful when budgeting.
| # | Category | % of tests with advisory | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tyres | 14.3% | 140 |
| 2 | Brakes | 3.8% | 37 |
| 3 | Other defects | 2.3% | 22 |
| 4 | Visibility | 1.4% | 14 |
| 5 | Emissions & environmental | 0.7% | 7 |
| 6 | Suspension | 0.2% | 2 |
Failure rate by mileage
Higher-mileage cars tend to fail more — often the most useful guide to real condition.
| Mileage band | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-30k | 908 | 6.1% |
| 30-60k | 66 | 10.6% |
Failure rate by age
Trend over time
| Dataset year | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 42 | 2.4% |
| 2025 | 935 | 6.6% |
What to check before buying a 2022 F-Type
On a 2022 F-Type, tyres is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 3.8% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Tyres (3.8% 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 (1.2% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Visibility (1.0% 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.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
