Hey members. In 2013, I was visiting a Hornburg Land Rover on Sunset to test drive and buy a new body style Range Rover only to find the dealer mark up of more than $20k. They brought out a 2011 XJ 5.0 V8 that had 17k miles. It was a manufacturer's buy back, but dealer said they repaired every issues with the car. It looked good with blacked out 20" Orona satin black wheels. Bought it, and.this car has not had any issues at all. Just replaced the water pump last year. Is it possible to have original battery on a car that is 13 years old? My batter is from 2011. Also, the reason I bought this car is because in 2011, Jaguar was at the top of JD Power list for having the least problems per model. XJ was above Lexus and Toyota. Unbelievable.

Yes, it is possible to have a battery that is 13 years old. If you take care of the battery, it will take care of you. Granted, I would be looking at replacing it soon as it is getting weak and you just are not noticing it. You get a new battery in it, you will notice how the car will catch immediately, not have to crank a few times. Stick with an AGM battery and get the one with the most CCA that you can.
