How to Decode a VIN
The numbers and letters that make up the Vehicle Identification Numbers are not random. Much like your driver’s license number, they tell a story. The story is who made the car, the make model and engine type and where the car was built. Here is a breakdown of the entire 17 characters and what they mean.
- 1 This first character tells us the country in which the vehicle was built.
- 2, 3 The second and third characters are a code for the manufacturer.
- 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 These characters use a code to tell us the brand of the vehicle, the engine size, and type.
- 9 This character is a unique security code authorizing that it is indeed a legitimate VIN from the manufacturer.
- 10 This shows us the model year of the car. There is a code list for each year.
- 11 The eleventh character stands for which plant manufactured the vehicle.
- 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 These characters comprise the serial number for the car.
