We should have an initial stat for the 2002 in May, and perhaps one for the 2003 and 2004 as well. A few additional participants per model year would be very helpful.

Just enhanced the related repair history survey so that it can (optionally) be used as a personal car maintenance record.

As always, more participants would be helpful. Updated Car Reliability Survey results in May, with a preview for participants next month.

We're on track to have results for two or three model years with the August update.

For May, we've come up a single response short of the minimum. I hate to come so close and not make it, but looks like this will be the case.

Just a few more participants per year would make a huge difference.

We did end up a single response short with the May results. Very hopeful for August. Even a couple more participants per year would be very helpful.

 

We'll have partial results for the 2002 and 2003 next month.

Of course, I'd like to be able to provide full results for all model years.

To help get your year fully included:

Car reliability research

 

We have intial results for the Jaguar X-Type to include owner experiences through June 30, 2010.

Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the more recent months until the summer or even fall of next year.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2003: 108, about average

2002: 200, worse than average

In both cases the sample size is very small, so these results are not precise. We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

*I am in no way affiliated with TrueDelta*

I urge all of you X type owners who have not signed up yet to go ahead and sign up. This is a great site not only for owners to track expenditures/repairs and such, but to help prospective buyers in the future. I've been searching through TrueDelta myself looking at data for some other cars and it's very helpful.

 

I signed up. I have an '04 X Type and it's broken down four times since June. It's currently "yard art". I never had a minute's trouble with it prior to this.

 

Thanks, I certainly appreciate it. Three model years are either right above or right below the minimum sample size, so each additional participant really helps.

Starting this month we have a new question to measure, as objectively as possible, the severity of a problem. Many people have been asking for reliability stats that weight problems by how severe they are, and once we have enough responses with the revised survey we'll start providing this.

Car reliability research

 

We have updated results for the Jaguar X-Type to include owner experiences through September 30, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the months since April until the summer or even fall of next year.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2003: 103

2002: 104

Both are about average.

In both cases the sample size is very small, so these results are not precise. We'll have further updates in February and May. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

Jaguar X-Type reliability ratings and comparisons

 

We have updated results for the Jaguar X-Type to include owner experiences through December 31, 2010.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2004: 105, about average

2003: 77, better than average

2002: 107, about average

Very small sample sizes in all three cases, so these results are not precise. We'll have further updates in May and August. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

We have updated our car reliability stats for the Jaguar X-Type to include owner experiences through March 31, 2011.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2004: 135, worse than average

2003: 85, about average

2002: 113, about average

Very small sample sizes in all three cases, so these results are not precise. We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

August 2010 replaced front and rear swaybar bushings

September 2010 replaced battery. (which also fixed electric gremlins)

Other then these two repairs all the car has been in the shop for is two oil changes.

 

We have updated our reliability stats for the Jaguar X-Type (on our redesigned site) to include owner experiences through September 30, 2011.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2004: 108, about average

2003: 88, better than average

2002: 118, about average

Very small sample sizes in all three cases, so these our reliability stats are not precise. We'll have further updates later this month and in May. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years. As it is, we've fallen a single car short of having the 2002 in the next update.

We have updated our reliability stats for the Jaguar X-Type to include owner experiences through September 30, 2012.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2004: 72, about average

2003: 70, about average

Very small sample sizes both three cases.

We'll have further updates in February and May. We'd love to provide more precise stats and cover more model years--just a matter of getting more owners involved!

I signed up with my '05, it looks like there aren't enough to see any data though

 

Hey, I'm going to question our gospel about the X-Type not being a true performance car because of the weak transfer case by asking if anyone really knows of a car where the T-Case failed for reasons not associated with it running out of lube?

Sure the original cases were prone to cracking but after they replaced them does anyone know of a justified reason for not trusting the newer ones?

Just wondering if we've mistaken ourselves and we worry too much about using what the car has to offer?
================================================
Jaguar - it's not an automobile, it's a Motorcar

 

We have 19 2005s signed up. I'll add them to the survey once we have 25. Yours brought us closer, thanks for adding it!

There's a second form to post repairs for cars not in the main survey, or repairs that occurred before joining for cars already in the survey. So you can still post any repairs you've had, if you want to. Look under "repair histories" in "My Garage."

 

I checked the TC last year on our's and the lube level was full and clean. Our's has the original case and no record of lube being changed.
