Jaguar schedules maintenance at 16,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Oil and filter changes form the core of each visit. Brake fluid is due every two or three years. Higher-mileage items include air filters, spark plugs and belts at set intervals. Keep records to protect residual value.
Crash-test scores from major agencies are not available for this generation. Standard safety includes dual front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags with head protection, ABS with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, dynamic stability control, tyre-pressure monitoring and a pedestrian deployable bonnet. Optional packs add blind-spot monitoring, rear camera and parking sensors.
The aluminium structure is light and rigid. Regular services and prompt attention to cooling or timing-chain items on the supercharged engines keep the car reliable. Tyre and brake wear rise with spirited use. Boot space on the Coupé is useful for a sports car at just over 400 litres.
