How many miles will a 2000 S-Type last?
The 82 mileages owners gave run from 60 to 189,000 miles. A quarter are at or under 42,600 miles, half at or under 57,000, three quarters at or under 82,000 and nine in ten at or under 104,000; 11 (13%) came after 100,000 miles, 3 (4%) after 150,000 and none after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2000 S-Type wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Most of these reports came early in the vehicle's life: 71 of the 82 came at or under 100,000 miles. The 11 past that mark show the 2000 S-Type still being driven at those mileages, not how many reach them: NHTSA's file counts complaints, not the vehicles on the road.

Common problems with the 2000 S-Type
NHTSA's file holds 141 owner complaints on the 2000 Jaguar S-Type. Owners named the powertrain most often: 41 complaints, and half of the 31 that list a mileage came after 62,000 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Train | 41 | 31 | 63,000 |
| Visibility | 23 | 13 | 43,600 |
| Engine And Engine Cooling | 21 | 11 | 54,360 |
| Suspension | 17 | 12 | 47,500 |
| Electrical System | 16 | 11 | 52,500 |
Of the 141 complaints, 8 report a crash, 1 reports a fire and 8 report an injury (9 people reported injured). These are owners' reports to NHTSA, not findings.
Is the 2000 S-Type a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2000 is a good or a bad S-Type: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2000 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 141 complaints, the 2000 drew the most of the 7 Jaguar S-Type model years from 2000 to 2006 with 10 or more complaints. The fewest: the 2006 (17).
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 (this page) | 141 | 82 | 57,000 |
| 2001 S-Type | 79 | 56 | 63,350 |
| 2002 S-Type | 24 | 14 | 52,000 |
| 2003 S-Type | 100 | 79 | 38,000 |
| 2004 S-Type | 25 | 20 | 44,000 |
| 2005 S-Type | 85 | 65 | 66,015 |
| 2006 S-Type | 17 | 14 | 42,000 |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2000 S-Type lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2000 S-Type.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 59 of the 141 complaints on the 2000 Jaguar S-Type give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: S-TYPE. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: S-TYPE.
