The JAGUAR XF (2011-16) 4DR SALOON 2.2D DPF SS 163 EU5 SE AUTO8 is a large, premium four-door diesel saloon aimed at buyers wanting comfort and presence rather than a small city car or SUV. In the UK it sits in the executive-car class alongside German rivals, and offers prestige. It is well suited to regular commuting, business travel and family journeys, with an automatic gearbox that makes traffic less tiring. In 350 mycarcheck.com look-ups, 106 distinct VINs were recorded, a sample; checks averaged about £5,100 in private-sale value, 104,000 miles, 6,000 miles a year and nearly four previous keepers. Its appeal is the blend of understated styling, a refined cabin and confident road manners; the 2.2-litre diesel is suited to covering distance, though condition and service history matter more than reputation. Compared with rivals, this XF offers a distinctive alternative, but check a car’s history and mileage before buying.
