Jaguar VIN decoder
A Jaguar VIN has 17 characters, and Jaguar VINs commonly start with SAJ, which identify the manufacturer and where the car was built. North-American-market Jaguar VINs always encode the model year in position 10. European-market VINs from this maker may not, so RevalVIN asks for the model year when it matters. RevalVIN decodes Jaguar VINs from €0.10 per result and adds stolen, mileage, valuation and ownership-cost checks.

Does a Jaguar VIN show the model year?
North-American-market Jaguar VINs always encode the model year in position 10. European-market VINs from this maker may not, so RevalVIN asks for the model year when it matters.
RevalVIN never guesses the model year from a registration date. If a recorded first-registration date is earlier than the manufacture year, it shows the manufacture year instead. The model year code table explains each character.
Where to find the VIN on a Jaguar
- At the base of the windscreen on the driver's side, readable from outside the car
- On a label in the driver's door frame
- On the registration document, such as the V5C in the UK or the Zulassungsbescheinigung in Germany
- In the service book and on insurance documents
Compare the VIN in at least two places before buying.
