Enter a 17-character VIN and the decoder tells you the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture for a Jaguar XJ, free and with no registration. Our data for the XJ spans model years 1968 to 2019, lists the Sedan body style, and covers power from 147 to 575 hp across 11 versions, from the XJ (XJ40/XJ81) and XJ (X300) to the XJ Long (X351 facelift 2015).
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot answer those questions; that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, check that the VIN on the car matches the registration papers, and that the decoded model year fits the version and power figure given in the documents.

A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.
Enter the 17-character VIN and see the factory basics in seconds.
Our data lists model years 1968 - 2019 across 11 versions of the Jaguar XJ. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
11 versions, in 1 body style, with power up to 575 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives you the model year, which helps you place the car among versions such as the XJ (X308), XJ (X350) or XJ Sovereign (X358). The exact version should be confirmed in the registration document, because the decoder reads only the manufacturer, model year and country.
Compare all 17 characters one by one. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so seeing one points to a misread or a problem. Also check that the tenth character, the model year, agrees with the year in the papers.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, and it does not confirm the engine fitted to one particular car. Our data lists 147 to 575 hp for the XJ, so check the output stated in the documents against what you are told.
