The JAGUAR S TYPE (1999-08) 4DR SALOON 2.7D V6 206 SPORT is a large executive saloon, offering a traditional, distinctive alternative to family hatchbacks and SUVs. Its diesel engine and roomy cabin make it suited to longer journeys, while its age and running costs place it in the affordable, specialist end of the UK used-car market. mycarcheck.com has recorded 48 checks covering 24 VINs, giving a useful but modest snapshot. Checked cars averaged 133,000 miles and about 4,000 miles a year; the average private-sale valuation was £1,300. They had nearly six previous keepers on average, so review each car’s history and condition carefully. The Sport trim gives this Jaguar a look, while its comfortable, composed drive suits commuters and couples seeking a relaxed motorway car, rather than first-time drivers needing low-cost motoring. Against BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class rivals, it stands out for British character and value.
