Is the Jaguar S-Type ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 13,538 MOT tests, around 10% of Jaguar S-Types still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 42% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 48%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 68% petrol, 32% diesel. Petrol S-Types are generally compliant from 2006, while petrol cars from 2000 or earlier are likely to be charged. Diesel S-Types in the data are mostly from years that are unlikely to comply.

How ULEZ rules apply to the S-Type
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (68% of S-Types tested): likely compliant from 2006; 2000 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Diesel (32% of S-Types tested): most cars in our data are from years unlikely to comply.

Buying a used Jaguar S-Type for London: what the MOT data shows
The Jaguar S-Types in this data were first registered between 1999 and 2007. 2007 was the most common year, with 2,283 tests (17% of the total), and half were registered in 2004 or later.
S-Types from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 65% of the time, at an average of 95,695 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 63% of the time with 93,234 miles on average.
On a budget, the oldest petrol S-Types likely to comply are from 2006. 752 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 65% of the time and averaged 98,230 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the S-Type's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were suspension: "ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (7.8% of tests); lights and electrics: "not working" (5.6%); steering: "ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (3.5%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 14.1% of tests.
Overall, 63% of S-Types passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 93,821 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
