I can see why you have had no problems, with your machine! Cos its only your back up machine isnt it ? Dont you use a Prowler now as your full time machine ?
Up until recently the Jag was my primary machine, it has and still serves me very well and to be fair it has never failed on me, regardless of what pre spray i would use i would ALWAYS without fail use a de foamer, also simple maintenance on things like the auto pump out... keeping filters clean and lint free, adding a lint hog helped to keep my waste tank clean.
Storing the unit with the waste tank lid off would stop condensation forming in the tank, wrapping it up in a blanket when the weather turned cold and always running the vacs for a few minutes at the end of each job.
This is just routine machine care which i have carried out on all my HWE machines and not one of them has let me down in the past.
The prowler was purchased for several reasons, volume of work and type of work required a TM and i was on a budget, the Jag is still used for all my upholstery cleaning and for those jobs where a TM simply cant get to.
If equipment is properly cared for then you reduce the risk of it failing... simple
