My babe is a late 2002 (UK 52 reg), I bought her last October 2012 and although she needs a little tlc (tender loving care!) she will be right as rain when I have a full wallet, then it will be empty ... doh!
She's Baby Blue and she has 87,00 miles on the clock, I've only done about 5,000 but I have nothing but praise for the X Type design and superb road holding the AWD (all wheel drive) is superb! This is my third X Type and I will probably have another before I shell out for an XJR350, but I hope to keep the X as I have too much love to give and I have a great fascination for the X Type... Grace Pace and lots of space with a lump in my throat and a SMILE ON MY FACE!
Regards, Stu

I've got 126,900 miles on my 2003 X-Type. I plan on driving it until it either falls apart of becomes a pain in the wallet.
I have just recently replaced the top water rail, thermostat, and O2 sensors, and all the belts. They weren't as hard to replace as the spark plugs, but all of this I was able to do on my own by help through other members on this site.
What a great car!

Just bought a '07 in very nice condition with a whopping 137,000 on the dial. Would have never taken the plunge had it not looked to be in such great shape.
I know bad things can happen to a high-miler...they can also happen to low-milers! Better to be lucky than good!

2001 X type SE 2.5 V6 petrol Auto (UK). Platinum with Dove Gray Leather.
Done 38,000 miles from new.
History shows Instrument/speedo replaced at 13,000 under warranty.
1x Driveshaft sometime after.
Currently sorting Gearbox Fault with Engine Management light.
Loving the car. I have a soft spot for bigger engined autos. (UK read 2.5L as big) although Jag is not as smooth or as quiet as my old Omega.

Previous faults
ABS fault, two springs, glovebox handle broke, alternator,

Most reliable car Ive had to date and most cared for.

98K miles and so far (after factoring in a replacement transfer case that is soon to be), I have sunk over $16K in scheduled maintenance and misc repairs since I picked this up new. I still have a bad a/c compressor that needs attention, blown premium Alpine speakers and CD changer that is ka-put. Premium system indeed. Add another two grand to fix these things. Sad to say that despite strict adherence to scheduled maintenance and twice the number of recommended full synth oil changes, I have still racked up these kinds of repair numbers for mechanical failures and high maintenance requirements. My car must have been going down the line while rumors of Jaguar being sold off to Tata were fresh on the line workers' minds. Car looks great from the outside but its what you can't see that's an engineering abomination.

That's pretty much been my experience. I've only had warranty work there (but that warranty has since expired). Since then, I have taken it up there several times just for a "diagnostic", and then taken the car to my regular mechanic, where the work is done for a lot less. I'm always flabbergasted by the price estimates they put on that sheet!
