JAGUAR X TYPE (2008-10) is a compact executive car, offered mainly as a four-door saloon and practical estate, sitting above mainstream family cars in the UK used market. It brings traditional Jaguar styling and a more upmarket feel to everyday motoring, while remaining a relatively affordable way into the badge. mycarcheck.com has recorded 6,570 checks covering 2,823 distinct VINs, a substantial sample of used-car interest. The average private-sale valuation is £2,000, with average recorded mileage of 110,000 and around 5,000 miles driven yearly. Cars have had about four previous keepers on average, so buyers should compare condition and history carefully rather than judge by age alone. X-Type suits commuters, couples and families wanting comfort, a refined cabin and estate-car carrying space; it is less costly than many German premium rivals. Diesel versions can be economical, while the composed drive and Jaguar character make it stand out among sensible family saloons.
