In terms of things to look out for….
Full service history - ideally itemized on the Jag database. Doesn’t needs to be main dealer - good indies will do and you can request that Jaguar update the electronic record
Rusted subframe - very common on early cars, so get under and have a look at the metal framework under the car
Main air vent not rising/lowering
Water ingress underneath the bonnet vents can impact the injectors - a conscientious owner will have put some heat resistant matting to cover the injectors
Coolant Y pipe is prone to deterioration - history of having this replaced is good.
Seized or squeaky exhaust valves
I would personally want a Jag used warranty which would cover all of the above except the exhaust valves. Be wary that an extended used warranty can only be transferred in a private sale not via an independent trade sale. If buying fully approved then nothing to worry about.
Sounds like a lot of issues but a well maintained car should be relatively trouble free. - every marque has its weak points.
Good luck with the search!
What to look out for on a 2015 F-Type?
Buying used should ensure any faults at time of sale (or found within 6 months) should be fixed by the seller, regardless of warranty (although in my experience, dealers will manage to put it through the warranty anyway!).

Lots of leather and toys, and loads of noise!

I bought my MY15 12 months ago - why the hesitation? If it's got a good service history and the seller's looked after it (as in my case) then go for it!

I went to Marshall JLR in Ipswich to get a replacement locking wheel nut for my MY18 Discovery 5, only had 18,000 miles and had it from new. Saw the Portofino Blue F-Type sitting outside and came home in it
