Jag XF estate advice?

[alex98uk]

Hello,

I am looking at a Jaguar XF estate (auto, petrol, 18-20 reg) now that I have a child and travel seems more optimistic in the near future.

Just for reference, other vehicles i've had my eye on are the Volvo V90 (& CC) and the Skoda Superb 280. Both are within the same price range, but differ in their offerings.

My understanding is that 2L and 8 speed in the Jag XF is actually quite reliable and there have been no major complaints regarding this iteration.

• Are there "good to know" things about the car, or stuff to look out for when I view/test drive? Both in terms of maintenance and optional extras?
• A late '18 reg, early '19 reg car will be fast approaching it's first MOT/major service, is there anything around this time range that should ring alarm bells? (I would expect the dealer to service/stick an MOT on the car prior to sale though).
• Any advice/experience on ownership?

Thank you
