The JAGUAR S TYPE (1999-08) 4DR SALOON 2.7D V6 206 SPIRIT is a large, four-door executive saloon, aimed at buyers wanting traditional British-style comfort rather than a hatchback or SUV. It sits in the premium used-car market, where it has long been an alternative to German rivals such as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. mycarcheck.com has recorded 16 checks covering 12 different VINs, so the sample is modest. Within those records, average private-sale value is £1,700, average latest recorded mileage is 84,000 miles, and cars average 3.5 previous keepers. The low average annual mileage of 2,000 is also notable, though individual cars can differ. The 2.7-litre diesel suits commuting, longer trips and family travel. Its roomy cabin, comfortable ride and Jaguar styling set it apart from mainstream saloons. It suits buyers seeking motorway comfort, provided they check condition and service history and budget for an older premium car.
