What is a VIN Number?

Every motor vehicle has a unique code known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), assigned at the time of manufacture. This 17-character code, comprising letters and numbers but excluding Q, I, and O to prevent confusion with 0 and 1, contains detailed information about the vehicle’s maker, model, year, and production location, with no spaces in between. Using Driving-tests.org is the easiest way to use a VIN decoder, it pulls straight from government data, and it's free to use.

How many characters:
17 (digits and capital letters)
Where to find:
Dashboard on the driver's side
First digit stands for:
Country of manufacturer

How to Find It

Finding your Jaguar's VIN is straightforward. Here’s where to look:

  • Passenger Cars: Check the front of the dashboard on the driver's side. View it from outside the vehicle through the windshield. Also, inspect the driver's side door pillar—open the door to find the VIN where the door latches.
  • SUVs: Look in similar locations as passenger cars, focusing on the driver's side door pillar and the front of the dashboard.

If you're unable to locate the VIN on your Jaguar, it can also be found on:

  • Your vehicle's title documents.
  • Liability insurance documents.

How to Check a Specific Number

Enter your Jaguar's 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the field above to access detailed information about your luxury vehicle. This includes details about the manufacturer, brand, make and model, body style, engine specifications, assembly plant, and model year. The data is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) based on information supplied by Jaguar. Whether you own a Jaguar F-Type, XE, or any other Jaguar model, this VIN Decoder tool will help you get a specific build sheet or detailed chart for your vehicle. For Jaguar vehicles made before 1981, the VIN may have fewer than 17 characters.
