The JAGUAR S TYPE (1999-08) 4DR SALOON 3.0 V6 SPORT AUTO4 is a four-door executive saloon, an alternative to family hatchbacks and SUVs. Its automatic gearbox and V6 petrol engine suit relaxed journeys, while Sport trim adds character. It occupies the UK’s premium, comfort-focused market. mycarcheck.com recorded 153 look-ups covering 55 different VINs, a sample of interest in this model. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 119,000 miles and around 9,000 miles driven yearly. Cars averaged five to six previous keepers, while the average private-sale valuation was £400, so condition and history matter greatly. This S-Type is best suited to drivers wanting a comfortable, characterful car or long-distance cruiser, rather than the lowest running costs. Its distinctive classic-Jaguar styling and smooth, refined feel help it stand apart from German executive rivals such as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, though age makes a careful history check essential.
