The last six digits of the VIN refer to the final six characters of the vehicle identification number on the motor vehicle license. Below is relevant information about the VIN: 1. Door pillar: Except for trailers and motorcycles, it can be found on the door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or one of the door edge pillars near the driver's seat; fixed on the left side of the dashboard; or fixed on the inner side of the door near the driver's seat. 2. Left side of the dashboard, below the windshield: In China, the VIN of most cars can be found on the left side of the dashboard or below the windshield. 3. Motor vehicle license: New licenses usually print the VIN in the "VIN" column. 4. Other locations: Such as on insurance policies, various nameplates in the engine compartment, or the driver's side door pillar.

Hey, I just got a new car and found out that the VIN is often located on the edge of the driver's side door frame, below the windshield, or on the vehicle registration documents. It's a 17-character string, and all you need to do is find the location—the last 6 digits are the car's unique serial number. I used a mobile app to scan the VIN, and it decoded the production batch and assembly sequence—super useful for insurance or used car transactions. When parking, make sure the lighting is good, and don’t scratch the label to avoid damaging the paint. Safety first. By the way, the last 6 digits are crucial for vehicle history checks, as they can reveal accident or recall records. In short, it's easy to find, but don’t overlook privacy—don’t share the VIN carelessly.

In the workshop, checking the VIN is our daily routine, typically located on the engine compartment nameplate or the inner corner of the dashboard. Take a look at that 17-digit code—the last six digits represent the unique production serial number, just like a fingerprint. At work, we use specialized lights to illuminate the area below the windshield for clear character reading and to avoid misidentification, which is crucial for diagnosing vehicle issues or matching parts. I also remind my colleagues to pay extra attention to the VIN's integrity during routine inspections—damage could affect warranty claims. This information helps trace a vehicle's history, such as whether it's been modified. It's simple to understand, but regular label maintenance is essential.

I've been driving for over 40 years, and the location of the VIN hasn't changed much. It used to be on the engine compartment wall, but now it's mostly at the lower right corner of the windshield. Look at the last 6 digits of that code - it's the manufacturer's serial number representing the production sequence. Here's how to check: Park securely, then either check the label when opening the door or gently rub the glass to see the engraving. No app needed, just manually note it down. It also helps identify genuine parts, saving trouble later. My experience shows that regular VIN checks can prevent potential issues.
