Voici où vous le trouverez :
Swallow Sidecar renamed themselves Jaguar in 1945, after a decade of building cars. During WWII, engineers worked after hours on a new twin overhead cam straight 6 that went into the new XK120 after the war. This car and its engine won races ranging from the 24 Hours of Le Mans to NASCAR. It was followed by the E-Type, regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever produced. Meanwhile, their luxury sedans were renowned for their performance and beautiful interiors. From the 1960s to the 2000s, Jaguar went through several ownership changes. They were part of British Leyland, had a few years as an independent automaker, joined Ford’s Premier Auto Group, and finally ended up at Tata. Under Tata’s ownership, Jaguar and Land Rover operations merged, creating a luxury-focused company that produces everything from sports cars to world class off-roaders.
Many of us dream about owning a Jaguar one day. However, that desirability comes with major financial risk. Before you buy your next car, get a VIN check from EpicVIN. When you look up the VIN on our site, it will tell you how the vehicle was equipped when it left the factory. This can help you find the right vehicle, and avoid cars that have been modified. Want to reduce your risk when you buy a Jaguar? Order a VIN report, and you’ll get a full history of the vehicle based on data from official databases. This includes legal issues, theft, accident damage and more.
Vehicle identification numbers are issued by Jaguar when they build each vehicle. This 17 character I.D. includes information about when the car was built, where it was built, and how it was equipped. While it’s possible to pass a vehicle off as a different trim, it’s all but impossible to falsify a VIN.
How does this help you find the right car? Let’s say you want to buy an F-Type. When this car debuted, handling performance was identical across all models, despite being offered with three engines. This is thanks to unique suspension and drivetrain components for each motor. An unscrupulous seller could simply swap engines, leaving the rest of the car alone. Without the accompanying upgrades, this could leave you with a car with great acceleration and terrible handling. While it’s hard to tell a standard differential from an electronically controlled on, it’s trivial to use our decoder to see how the car was equipped at the factory.
Jaguar places this identifier in several areas to prevent tampering. Some stickers and engravings have “Jaguar” finely printed across them, making it each to spot tampering. Here are some places to check when you’re looking for a car’s VIN.
With the driver’s door open, look for a plate or sticker on the door pillar near the latch. This label has extensive vehicle information, including the VIN. If it’s not there, look at the side of the B pillar, near the door sill. On some older models, this plate is made of a plastic that’s designed to chip apart if any attempt is made to remove it from the vehicle. Be wary of any vehicle that is missing this plate.
Some recent vehicles also have a white VIN sticker on the A-pillar between the door hinges.
If you open the hood, you should see the VIN stamped somewhere on the passenger’s side inner fender or on the center of the firewall. Older models also have a white manufacturer sticker next to one of the hood hinges, near the cowl.
Look inside the trunk. On some models, including the X-Type, the VIN is stamped into the passenger’s side fender or floor pan.
Now that you have the VIN number, what can you learn from it? Here’s an overview of what each digit stands for.
The first three digits make up the World Make Identifier. The first digit is the manufacturing location. This is “S” for Great Britain. The second digit is the manufacturer. On recent cars, this is “A” for Tata. The third character is the brand division, which is “D” or “J” on late model vehicles.
The fourth digit is the market and safety system. You should see one of these letters here for American market cars:
D- four airbags
E, J- United States
W- Front, side and curtain airbags
You may come across other characters on cars from neighboring countries. B, G and X are used on Canadian market cars, while P, R, T and Y are used on Mexican market cars.
The fifth digit is the gearbox: “A” for automatic and “B” for manual.
The sixth and seventh digits are the model and body type:
Code | Body Type |
---|---|
01 | S-Type |
03 | S-Type Sport |
12 | XJ Sport |
14 | XJ8 |
15 and 73 | XJR |
1C and 71 | XJ |
20, 23 and 79 | XJ8L |
24 and 74 | Vanden Plas |
25 | Vanden Plas SC |
82 | Vanden Plas long wheelbase |
25 | XJ Super V8 |
2B | F-Pace |
41 and 43 | XK and XKR coupe |
42 and 44 | XK and XKR convertible |
51 | X-Type |
53 | X-Type Sport |
The eighth digit is the engine and market. Here are the codes you’ll see on modern American market Jaguars:
Code | Engine |
---|---|
A | X-type or S- type ULEV 3.0L |
B | S-type, XKR, XJR / Vanden Plas SC and XJ Super, ULEV 4.2L V8, or XJ 5.0L V8 |
C | XJ8, XJ8L, Vanden Plas, XK8, XKR, XJR, SV8 and S-type R supercharged 4.2L V8, S-type V6, X-type 3.0L V6, or XJ and Sovereign 4.0L |
D | S-type V8 or X-type 2.5L V6 |
N or T | S-Type 3.0L V6 |
U | S-Type 4.2L V8 |
V | S-Type R supercharged 4.2L or F-Pace |
The ninth digit is used to check the authenticity of the VIN.
The tenth digit is the year. This alternates between numbers and letters, excluding characters that have similar shapes. For example, there is no “0” or “O” used for the year. 2000s models used numbers, while 2010 and later models use letters.
Code | Country | Code | Country | Code | Country | Code | Country |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
E | 1984 | R | 1994 | 4 | 2004 | E | 2014 |

P | 1993 | 3 | 2003 | D | 2013 | P | 2023 |
Here are some examples of Jaguar vehicle identification numbers, and the information you can get from them:
Les emplacements varient d’un constructeur à l’autre. Cependant, il y a trois endroits où vous pouvez trouver le code sur la plupart des véhicules:
- Regardez le tableau de bord à travers le pare-brise. Du côté du conducteur, vous devriez voir une petite plaque métallique sur laquelle le numéro est apposé.
- Ouvrez la porte du conducteur. Regardez à l’avant et sur le côté du montant de la porte pour trouver un autocollant d’identification. Il porte généralement le logo du fabricant. Le code doit se trouver sur cet autocollant.
- Ouvrez le capot. Vous verrez peut-être un autocollant sur la cloison pare-feu ou près de la tour de jambe de force du côté passager. Sur certaines voitures, le numéro est gravé à l’un de ces endroits.
Comme ce numéro est utilisé pour identifier le véhicule sur les documents officiels, vous pouvez également le trouver sur le titre de propriété, l’autocollant de fenêtre et sur les polices d’assurance.
Nous décodons également les numéros des véhicules récréatifs, des poids lourds et des motocyclettes. Si vous devez décoder un numéro de VR, assurez-vous qu’il s’agit de celui émis par le fabricant du châssis, et non par le fournisseur de VR.
Non. Les voitures canadiennes et mexicaines utilisent généralement le même format. Les autres pays utilisent leurs propres formats.
C’est au constructeur de déterminer ce qu’il veut inclure pour certaines parties du numéro. Par exemple, certaines entreprises n’incluent pas d’informations sur les transmissions ou les niveaux de finition.
En général, non. Quelques constructeurs estampillent le code dans le moteur. Si les numéros d’identification du moteur et de la voiture correspondent, il s’agit du moteur d’origine. Sur la plupart des véhicules, il n’y a rien qui lie un moteur à un véhicule spécifique. Tout au plus, la recherche du véhicule sur notre site web vous permettra de savoir si un autre type de moteur a été installé. Par exemple, si quelqu’un échange un V8 dans une Ford Mustang, notre site vous dira qu’elle était initialement équipée d’un V6.
