Is the Jaguar X-Type ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 30,304 MOT tests, around 7% of Jaguar X-Types still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 66% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 27%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 66% diesel, 34% petrol. Diesel X-Types in the data are mostly from years that are unlikely to comply. Every petrol X-Type in the data (2001 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the X-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).
- Diesel (66% of X-Types tested): most cars in our data are from years unlikely to comply.
- Petrol (34% of X-Types tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.

Buying a used Jaguar X-Type for London: what the MOT data shows
The Jaguar X-Types in this data were first registered between 2001 and 2010. 2008 was the most common year, with 5,305 tests (18% of the total), and half were registered in 2006 or later.
X-Types from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 56% of the time, at an average of 113,016 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 58% of the time with 109,201 miles on average.
On a budget, the oldest petrol X-Types likely to comply are from 2006. 1,175 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 56% of the time and averaged 112,907 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the X-Type's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were suspension: "prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength" (6.4% of tests); lights and electrics: "not working" (5.7%); noise, emissions and leaks: "inoperative or indicates a malfunction" (4.2%). The most frequent advisory was "in such a condition that it is seriously weakened", on 17.2% of tests.
Overall, 58% of X-Types passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 105,636 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
