2014 Jaguar F-Type MOT pass rate: 91.6% (6,080 tests)
Is the 2014 F-Type getting worse?
Pass rate of 2014-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 92.4% +15.0 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 91.8% +16.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 90.6% +16.2 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs
Is a 2014 Jaguar F-Type reliable?
2014-registered examples passed 91.6% of their MOT tests (6,080 tests, 2023–2025), +15.8 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 12 years old with a median 40,011 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.
What mileage is too high for a 2014 F-Type?
The median tested example shows 40,011 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
