Is the Jaguar XE ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 44,027 MOT tests, around 85% of Jaguar XE models still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 0% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 15%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 71% diesel, 29% petrol. Every diesel XE in the data (2015 onwards) is likely to be compliant. Every petrol XE in the data (2015 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the XE
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 (71% of XE models tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Petrol (29% of XE models tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
XE models from 2015 sit on the boundary (15% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Jaguar can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Jaguar XE for London: what the MOT data shows
The Jaguar XE models in this data were first registered between 2015 and 2020. 2016 was the most common year, with 12,418 tests (28% of the total), and half were registered in 2017 or later.
Every XE in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2020) passed first time 86% of the time at 23,759 miles on average, and the oldest (2015) passed 79% at 66,740 miles.
On a budget, the oldest diesel XE models likely to comply are from 2016. 10,275 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 80% of the time and averaged 62,685 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the XE's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (2.9% of tests); visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (2.5%); tyres: "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (2.1%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 15.0% of tests.
Overall, 82% of XE models passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 53,506 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
