Also thinking should I renewed my fxt COE coming 2026.

But backside very itchy,  1st car for me to drive full 10yrs. And no car now can buy at $110,800 with a 240bhp, 350Nm.

I'm also considering renewing for my car by 2027.. 180bhp, 430Nm 😂. parf 16k though. 

Adding up the 100k COE it'll probably be about 13k annual. So far only wear and tear issues.

Yes bro. Can't get new anymore. Higher road tax is still manageable considering that there are stuff I save offset by driving a diesel. No need to change plugs and The OCI is also amazing 34k or 2 years. I do it annually. It also don't have dpf to worry about 

Only concern is the availability of spare parts of there's a need..

Big CC can't afford, EV too boring and I got range anxiety.. 😅

I'm also not too sure.. I never heard of any DPF problem or error or need to replace throughout the 7yrs driving the car.. Don't need adblue either. It's Jaguar XE

It actually makes sense.. like someone above analyzed.

Buying new will incur ARF, dealer margin and what nots. Extending COE is simply COE+Parf.

If one day COE decides to drop and you decide to sell and buy new, it's simply pro-rated COE and loss of Parf, which is not too costly in today's context.

I haven't driven a jag diesel before but I suspect you probably do have a DPF. Almost impossible to meet emissions these days without a DPF. Especially if you don't need adblue for SCR.

Probably if trips are not short distances, your DPF will not clog up with soot. But modern conti diesels nowadays can also do forced regen by injecting diesel into the DPF to burn off soot, eliminating the pesky DPF issues from short trips.

But even then, the DPF will eventually clog up with ash that is reduced from soot, necessitating a replacement. It is inevitable, a matter of time. I seem to remember that my previous BMW can use the workshop OBD scantools to read off the % of DPF ash capacity utilised.
