43K on my 07 vert and will do around 10K year so here's to many many years to come.
My 97XK8 had 220,000 miles, decided to retire it as a daily driver and gave to my father who will enjoy it for many years to come.
Quick thread hijack here.. sorry.. but I think 220,000 is the highest mileage XK8 I've heard of! Good to know it was still running strong, as I plan to keep mine forever. Did you rebuild the transmission/have any major engine work?
Did transmission about 150K as the dealer told me they were filed for life and didn't require changing . That was also before I found the forum. Got a ZF factory rebuilt and went from there.
No rebuild on the engine yet but I'm sure she could use one (burns some oil). Won't due to the fact it'd be cheaper to buy a new used one . That's why I passed it off to my father to enjoy. Served me well for 8yrs and was only down for 2wks while the transmission was replaced. Just didn't want to put her through another winter here. Figured he could have some fun with it and as long as he checks the oil it's all good.
Car sat all winter with the maintainer on it then started right up and purrs like a kitten. He pulled it up to the front garage and then wouldn't start because gear selector cable needed adjustment and just resolved that. Post is in X100 Forum. After adjustment started right up again and hopefully he can enjoy it for many years to come.
Glad to see many low mileage 07-08 XKRs, and even happier to see that they have been solid/trouble free for the most part. Must not be daily driven I'm assuming...
My 09' XK has 22150 miles on her. No problems except for the very minor 'once every 3-4 months' electrical glitch...and she's still leaving puddles of water on the ground when parked after a drive.
12321 on my 2010 XKR, only put on about 1000 since i got her December. She is my daily driver, however she turned in to mostly a garage-queen this winter, this is by far the car i have been the most excited about,
Circa 106,000 on a 2007 XK. Usually only drive it on Thursdays. Some day trips have been over 500 miles. Like to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway at night. It's 125+ miles away. Only real complaint is the air conditioner condensation ****-up. Aside from sets of tires, the one single most expensive bill was a precautionary transmission service by a ZF specialist for slightly less than $700 @103,000. Knock-on-wood.
74k Miles on my '09 Portfolio Ed. Everything is tight, no signs of age whatsoever. The interior still smells like a brand new Jag. I know because I compared last time I was at the dealership.

What did that service include? The regular service kit (pan, filter, oil) installed is around $500-600. I did it on two Jag's, but one was due to cracked pan at 15K and the other was because it hit 50K and wanted to be proactive.
