I dont think so.

For it to be an insured event, a certain "event" would of had to cause the engine failure.

if its just due to old age or wear and tear, not insurable,

Ask your insurer, they will know best. We don't even know what cover you have.

Mechanical breakdown or derangement is excluded on all motor insurance policies

Unless it was due to fuel contamination they won't pay and even with that it can be long process.
