We recently purchased a 2012 XJL with the supercharged 5.0 L with about 45,000 miles, which I considered high for a SC engine just two years old. I'll be interested in seeing future comments on this thread. According to the carfax, the engine did have the water pump replaced at about 24,000 miles. We also had a 2009 XF with the NA 4.2 L engine that had 60,000 plus miles on it when we traded it. Looking forward to more comments.

Bought mine with 52k, but it had all of the following done as verified by Car Fax, Anaheim Hills Jag-Rang Rov and Its priv. owner as I found his contact info in the glovebox when I bought the car?
WP replaced
DIFF overhauled
SC rebuilt by a local Eaton certified shop with a performance bearing upgrade.
all 4 brake rotors replaced.
These things where done after 42K it now has 54K. So yes I have a 2010.1..lol

Timing chain tensioners on the 5.0 liter engine are a problem. You will hear a noise at idle as well as have an intermittent ck engine light. I forgot what the code is but will update this post when I get it.

Timing chain tensioners, water pump, and oxygen sensors were all issues with high mileage no matter how well maintained, and are all crazy expensive especially the timing chain.
The XFR may be the best overall modern Jaguar in the last 50 years since the E-Type. Yup, I said it.
The car had enormous poise and balance. I'm partial to the 2010 as it was the best value and had the originally designed look that was more unique, and drew more heritage cues serving as a perfect "bridge" car between the old and new Jaguar. The adaptive cruise control was standard, paddles were active in Drive mode, grill was chrome, and the gauges and switch gear were silver which I thought was more unique.
I now have an F-Type R, and while it is cool, the XFR was more of an overall package with no limitations at 90% of the performance. Truly special. I miss it....

A ‘rattle’ / ‘click’ noise may be heard from the front of the engine. The noise may be more pronounced when the engine is at idle speed. You may also get a check engine light for camshaft to crankshaft correlation.

Most people with newer Jaguar & Land Rovers don't post on forums. Why don't you ask your local Jaguar/Land Rover dealer. They should be able to confirm what I am saying.

It is not as simple as pulling off a valve cover which is quite a project. The tensioners are in the front of the engine. I will take a photo as we have 3 cars in the shop having this done now.
