Jaguar XK Vehicle Information
VIN Codes Explained
To ensure the parts that you order are correct for your Jaguar, you will need to know when the vehicle was manufactured.
Although the registration document will tell you when it was registered, this may have been some time after it was actually built. The most accurate way to determine your Jaguar's age (along with information relating to its specification) is by the chassis number (also called the VIN - Vehicle Identification Number). You can find this number on your registration document V5.
Depending on the model it can also be found located on the vehicle by means of an ID plate, either:
• Riveted to the bulkhead of the engine compartment near to the vehicle battery.
• Inside, of the lower left corner, of the windscreen
• Affixed to the Driver's door jam
The VIN number contains details about where your vehicle was manufactured, the year of manufacture and also the vehicle specification (see the table above). A typical VIN number would appear as follows:
SAJAH53SO5Y, followed by a 6-figure serial number.
