What's your opinion of the Jaguar XF?

Are there any problems I should look out for on a Jaguar XF 4.2-litre V8? The asking price is £22,000. It looks like new and your road test makes me salivate. I want to buy but I need to check I am not buying a known problematic model. I am retired and buying for personal use. I would be grateful for any comments or suggestions.

At a dealer aim to pay between £17,650 and £22,200 and expect to pay £19,500. From a private seller, aim to pay between £16,450 and £20,050 and expect to pay £18,550. A wonderful car with a bespoke feeling interior, amazingly quiet and refined, great performance from all engines and satnav is standard.
