JAGUAR X TYPE Common

As of 2026 Q1, 27,412 JAGUAR X TYPEs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 103,854 in 2014 Q3 — only 26% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 76,442 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 5,089 a year (18.6% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2029 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 46% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the X TYPE

The Jaguar X-Type is a front-engine, all-wheel/front-wheel drive compact executive car manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars from 2001 to 2009 under the internal designation X400, for a single generation, in sedan/saloon and wagon/estate body styles.
