14222 miles - low speed hit in rear - bumper cover replaced. $1754.44

20300 miles - another low speed hit in rear - bumper cover, reverse sensor and reinforce bar replaced. Beginning to think blue is a jinxed color. $2761.38

20341 miles - wheel alignment, intermittent battery problem solved by tightening positive battery cable clamp, intermittent failure outside temperature gauge, problem solved by display module update and tightening. Corrected under warranty

21134 miles -discovered paddle shifters were reversed (don’t use them so took a while to discover this). Corrected under warranty.

36500 miles - lousy stock tires replaced with Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires $1068.00

45235 miles - passenger side small window motor and regulator assembly replaced under warranty. Right visor making clicking noise when raised or lowered. Visor replaced under warranty.

44986 miles -front and rear brake pads and oil change. $567.09

61248 miles - replace satellite radio module - had a short. Replace thermostat and housing - $1938.48 and included an oil change and was done at a Jaguar dealer

82713 miles - front brakes, repair clogging AC condensation pan tube - this appears to be a design defect. $923.19. This was $373.00 to repair the drain issue and the remainder for the brakes

116112 miles - while parked someone damaged the drivers side rear quarter panel. It was very little damage but the quarter panel needed to be replaced. This was when I learned about the expense of an all aluminum car for repairs. My normal body shop estimated what I expected about $2000. But then after about 2 days called and said because it is all aluminum it needed to be repaired by an aluminum certified shop. When all was completed my insurance company paid all but deductble. Total was $9019.61!

About 130000 miles - tire dealer convinced me that the noise from the front right was a tire and I replaced the front tire that I had put on new because of the other driver running me into the curb. Turned out the noise was a wheel bearing.

134343 miles - front brake rotors and pads replaced, both front wheel bearings replaced, replace transmission fluid pan - $2572.16

March 2015 replaced battery under warranty with Duralast T8-DLG

144286 miles - replaced alternator on 9/26/16. $611.14

153432 miles - replaced rear brake discs and pads $575.87

 

Nice history, thanks for posting. If mine follows yours on the mileage map, I've got about 50k more miles before anything comes up, good to know!

 

While the total amount you have spent is considerable, an analysis of this service history shows it to be really quite good. A good part of the expenditure is for accident damage one way or another, tires, etc. Beyond that, normal upkeep that could be expected on almost any car (wheel bearings, alternator, thermostat replacement - but the plastic housing would not be an expected repair), the leak at the expansion tank - virtually every modern car has a plastic tank and cracks in these are very common ... the windscreen washer hose coming adrift is something you probably could have fixed yourself. The repairs done under warranty are a bit different: the shift paddles being reversed is a minor but annoying issue, assuming they worked while reversed; the sun visor is a significant thing because they do break if binding....and the AC drain clogging is also potentially pretty serious because if the water level gets high enough the amplifier can be ruined.
But all in all, given that you have now driven the car for half of its projected life - 150,000 miles - the power train is good for 300,000, properly serviced - there is nothing particularly alarming here. In fact, I would say that your experience supports the fact that the X150 is a very reliable car (not to mention beautiful).

 

Considering that a fair number of those repairs can be done yourself, just parts cost (thermostat & housing ~$130, duckbill ~$5, pads, rotors, etc.), the cost of ownership is quite low.

 

I'm encouraged by that. My 08 only has 65K miles on it, so it should be good to go for a few more years.

168258 miles - the radio and cruise controls on the steering wheel were worn and the left hand silver area by the radio controls had gotten scratched up so I found a steering wheel from a junked 2011 for $165 and cannibalized the parts from it. Because I didn’t want to mess with the air bag, I had my shop do the install and at the same time tighten both of the trunk shock bolts that had loosened up to the point of being noticeable when I opened and closed the trunk. $289.50.
