Where to Find the VIN on a Jaguar X-Type (X400, 2001–2009)
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential when ordering parts — it ensures you get the exact right component for your car's specification, build date, and engine type. Here's where to find it on the X-Type.
Quick option: Your VIN is printed on your V5C logbook. You can also give us your UK registration number and we'll look it up for you — we have the same lookup systems as a JLR main agent.
