Any of the aluminium cars. X260, X350, X351, X150 etc but the subframes can still rust so extra protection on those is best.

X260 XF S with the 3.0D V6 engine and 350mm front discs - assuming your style of driving is compatible with a modern diesel.I will also be needing bullet proof engine, of course oil will be changed every 10.000km maximum, and filters, but i really need bullet proof car i dislike to go to mechanic and wait , i will also appreciate if you can tell me which model have bigger better brakes .
This is a tried and tested engine developed by Ford/PSA in the mid-2000s and revised several times during its life.
Other engines will also be good, just my personal experience. The XF S comes with the larger front discs as standard. The S also tends to be the 3.0D V6 engine.
Hi how about petrol engines are they really bad like super charged petrol or 3.litre petrol are there any major flaws there? Or the most reliable is 3.0 diesel psa ford with around 300hp?
The pre 2015 v6 and v8 engines have a few parts that were updated to improve reliability. Some cooling components and the timing setup, chain, tensioners and guides.
These can all be retro fitted to a pre 2015 engine.
Many cars have gone over 100k miles on the original setup.
Post 2015 engines are as robust as as modern engines come. The odd injector fails here and there too. There’s nothing really to put you off.

If you really want it to be bulletproof, then it has to be an XJ Sentinel. Compromised fuel consumption and performance due to the extra weight of the armour.
