No luck, engine number is not searchable field in gov dataset. The only primary fields which are searchable are vrn (reg) and vin.
I've put in a request for information however that requires a vrn but have requested information anyway.

The only other option is ask Jaguar Customer Care team.

Or find all previous V8 write offs on 14 and 64 plates with vrn and lookup them up.

Whilst searching I did find two black R's which have had replacement engines outside of Jaguar main dealer from previous eBay sales from private garages.

The 508PS is V8 engine but that end code is for all V8 varients and outputs across the JLR model range.

Thanks everyone for your input. In the end I decided it wasn't worth spending close to £40k when the engine serial numbers were dodgy so I've gone with a very nicely specced 2015 R AWD Coupe with around 35k miles. Extremely happy, will be picking it up this weekend. All the best!
