No-start or intermittent start failure on the 2010 Jaguar XF
Only 6 reports for this mode came with an odometer reading, which is too few for percentiles to mean anything. The page is here because someone linked to it; treat the figures as anecdotes, and see the full report for this year instead.
When no-start or intermittent start failure gets reported
There are 6 reports of no-start or intermittent start failure on the 2010 Jaguar XF, 6 with a mileage attached. That is too few to place the failure on the odometer with any confidence.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 88,000 miles. It is the 7th most-reported problem on this model year.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | 39,617 miles | — | — |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Putting it right typically runs $200–$1,800 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure, every year of the Jaguar XF
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
I experienced a no warning complete shutdown of my 2010 jaguar xf at 5:00pm on october 6, 2010. Gas gauge read 30+ miles, odometer read 7000+ miles. I had just exited from a strip mall and driving on an incline at 25-30mph, without any warning the engine shut off abruptly, the gear control knob receded into the console and the car automatically shifted into park. I lost all control over the vehicle. The dashboard lost its illumination. I attempted to restart the car by pressing the start button but the car would not start. I couldn't roll down the windows. The police and my friend arrived at the scene and assisted me by pouring in at least a gallon of gas but the car was still frozen in place. The police called for tow truck assistance since my car was blocking the "after work" traffic flow. After a day and half at the service center, I was told that my car was ready for pick up on october 8th. I was told that nothing was wrong with the car (diagnosticians checked by machine) and advised me not to drive on low fuel. Nothing was fixed. On october 9th concern and terror regarding this experience was expressed to the manager. The…

Engine stalls, then check engine light appears. Soon after I brought my 2010 jaguar xf maybe 45 days later the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer all they did was cleared the light. Two months later it would not start after trying several times. I called the dealer who was no help. A few hours later it just started. Every few months a have engine trouble either it rides rough, stalls or doesn't start. Something need to be done asap this is very dangerous. *tr

How far this goes
This page is kept out of search results because 6 reports is not enough to publish percentiles from. It stays reachable because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see the reports than be told there are none.
Complaints are voluntary, so 6 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does no-start or intermittent start failure happen on the 2010 Jaguar XF?
Across 6 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 40,000 miles. A quarter were filed before — and a quarter after —. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is no-start or intermittent start failure on the 2010 Jaguar XF?
6 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.9 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
