Launched in 2001, the Jaguar X-Type was Jaguar’s first foray into the small executive car market since the 1960s. As such, Jaguar had a lot at stake and needed to convince prospective buyers to turn away from the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class, which were well established by that time. Manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars until 2009 under the internal designation X400, in saloon and estate body styles (the first Jaguar estate to go into series production), the X-type would also introduce the marque's first diesel engine, first four-cylinder engine and first front-wheel drive configuration. At launch, Autocar called the X-Type "the most important Jaguar ever" as it broke so much new ground.
This X-Type was produced to a very desirable specification, with the high-ranking Sovereign trim, the largest (three-litre) petrol V6 and optional all-wheel drive. It is also most attractively finished in its original colours of Pacific Blue with Ivory upholstery. It has had only seven registered keepers and has covered just 83, 000 miles, benefiting from regular maintenance. This is evidenced by the ten service stamps, the first of which were issued by Stratstone Jaguar of Derby at 13, 429 miles in February, 2007, and 20, 899 miles in November, 2007. Subsequent services have been performed by independent garages, and the most recent stamp was issued at 77, 942 miles in May, 2025.
Additional maintenance has included a new starter motor in 2019; professional Waxoyling and a general health check, plus fitment of new rear brake discs and pads, in 2021; a new oxygen sensor and four new Pirelli tyres in 2024; and a new power steering oil cooler in 2025. The long MOT record further testifies to regular care and attention, and the current MOT is valid until June, 2026. This very well-preserved car is supplied with the current V5C and the original book pack, including the owner’s manual and service book.
