Which Jaguar fails its MOT most, and which least?
The Jaguar X-Type has the highest failure rate at 26.7%, and the Jaguar I-Pace the lowest at 7.8%. A higher rate reflects how old and how hard a model tends to be used as much as how it was built, so the oldest models in the range usually sit near the top.
