About this model
The Jaguar I-Pace is a battery-electric car produced by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) under their Jaguar marque. A five-door executive car with a hatchback, the I-Pace was announced in March 2018, with European deliveries beginning in June 2018 and North American deliveries starting in October 2018. The I-Pace was discontinued in 2024 due to slowing sales and a change in corporate vision.

What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2020 electric. 457 of 8,383 tests failed, 5%.
Better than 83% of 2020 cars. The typical one fails 8%, across 906 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres and wheels | 73% | 334 |
| Lights and electrics | 8% | 38 |
| Visibility | 8% | 35 |
| Steering | 7% | 34 |
| Brakes | 5% | 22 |
| Plates and identity | 4% | 16 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A tyre seriously damaged
- A tyre cords visible or damaged
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- A steering ball joint with excessive wear or free play
- The aim of a headlamp is not within limits laid down in the requirements
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
Where it stands out against its peers
- Steering: failed more often than 98% of 2020 cars — 7% of its 457 failed tests, where an ordinary 2020 car has 0%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
NHTSA's investigations are American; no European regulator publishes an equivalent record, so this section has nothing to draw on for a European car. There is no European equivalent of the service-bulletin register either.

When it starts failing
At 60–80k miles this one fails 9% of its inspections, against the 14% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–20k miles | 3% | 5% | 2,344 | |
| 20–40k miles | 6% | 10% | 4,840 | |
| 40–60k miles | 7% | 13% | 1,029 | |
| 60–80k miles | 9% | 14% | 148 |
8,361 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 20k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
