The JAGUAR S TYPE (1999-08) 4DR SALOON 3.0 V6 240 XS AUTO6 is a spacious, four-door executive saloon, sitting in the UK’s traditional premium-car class rather than the hatchback or SUV market. Its automatic gearbox and V6 engine make it a relaxed, comfortable choice for longer journeys and everyday driving. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 129 look-ups covering 55 different VINs, a useful snapshot of cars checked rather than a measure of every S-Type. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £1,400, average recorded mileage of 92,000 and annual mileage of 3,000. The cars had around 3.7 previous keepers on average. With its distinctive Jaguar styling and quiet cabin, the S-Type offers a characterful alternative to BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class rivals. It suits drivers wanting comfort and presence, including couples or families, though running costs may be higher than a mainstream saloon. Check a car’s history and condition before buying.
