Official CO₂ and registration data
From the EU's mandatory CO₂ monitoring dataset — every new Jaguar Xj registered in the EU is counted here. Registration volumes show which years and engines were actually popular, which is what determines parts availability and resale demand later.
| Year | Fuel | CO₂ | Engine | Power | EU registrations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | Diesel | 206.6 g/km (WLTP) | 3.0 L | 220 kW | 140 |
CO₂ figures are registration-weighted averages across all trims of that year, on the WLTP cycle where the year has it and NEDC before that. Your car's own figure depends on its specific version.
Safety recalls affecting the Jaguar Xj
28 recall campaigns naming this model are on file. A recall is only a problem if it was never carried out — the check that matters is whether this particular car was fixed.
- The Restraint Control Module (RCM) can be reverted to a default level calibration in case an update is unsuccessfully undertaken.As a result, the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) may fail to correctly deploy the front airbags in the event of an accident, increasing the risk of an injury.EU Safety Gate · 2020-09-24 · Model years: 2009–2019Risk: Injuries
- The crankshaft pulley retaining bolt may fracture. As a consequence, the crankshaft nose could break leading to engine power loss and the potential for engine failure. Furthermore, the loose pulley could damage under bonnet components or puncture the bonnet and become a hazard to pedestrians or other road users.EU Safety Gate · 2019-01-31 · Model years: 2018Risk: Injuries
- The TFT Instrument Cluster (digital speedometer) screen can go blank and reset intermittently. This may distract the driver and increase the risk of an accident.EU Safety Gate · 2017-11-23 · Model years: 2016–2017Risk: Injuries
- In the event of a frontal impact severe enough to require the deployment of the airbags, the airbags may deploy incorrectly and not provide the required protection for the occupants.One incident reported.EU Safety Gate · 2017-07-13 · Model years: 2009–2010Risk: Injuries
- In certain vehicles, the driver's airbags may not correctly inflate. This increases the risk of injuries to the driver in the event of a vehicle crash.EU Safety Gate · 2016-06-30 · Model years: 2016Risk: Injuries
- Due to a problem linked with the electronics, the engine may cut out without any detectable warning signs. This could potentially cause a crash.EU Safety Gate · 2016-06-02 · Model years: 2012Risk: Injuries

Jaguar Xj VIN check — questions
- What does a Jaguar Xj VIN check tell me?
- Entering a Jaguar Xj's 17-character VIN returns a free decode — factory specification and build data read straight out of the VIN. The paid report adds what the VIN alone cannot tell you: recorded odometer readings, stolen-vehicle records, open recalls matched to the build, the cross-border registration trail and a market-value estimate. It costs EUR 8.90.
- Does the Jaguar Xj have any open recalls?
- We have 28 recall campaigns on file that name this model. Whether any of them applies to a particular car depends on its build date and factory, which is what the VIN identifies — the report matches recalls to the individual vehicle rather than to the model name.
- Where do I find the VIN on a Jaguar Xj?
- Look at the base of the windscreen on the driver's side, on the driver's door pillar or jamb sticker, and in the registration document. All three should read the same 17 characters. If they do not, stop — a mismatch between the plate, the document and the stamped VIN is the classic sign of a cloned or cut-and-shut car.
