The JAGUAR XF (2008-11) 4DR SALOON 5.0 V8 385 EU5 PORTFOLIO AUTO6 is a large, four-door executive saloon, aimed at buyers wanting something more distinctive than a conventional family car. In the UK, it sits in the premium used-car class, competing with established German luxury saloons while offering a sportier, characterful alternative. mycarcheck.com has recorded 117 look-ups covering 20 different VINs, offering a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Checks show an average private-sale value of £5,700 and average recorded mileage of 98,000 miles; typical annual mileage is 3,000, with about three previous keepers on average. This XF suits drivers wanting comfortable long-distance travel, space and strong, smooth performance, rather than low running costs; its V8 will use more fuel than smaller-engined rivals. Portfolio trim feels upmarket, while distinctive styling and an engaging, confident drive help the XF stand apart from the familiar BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
