How to Check the Manufacturing Date of a Car and Its Tires?
1 Answers
Methods to check the manufacturing date of a car: VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): Each car has a unique VIN, which can be used to determine the manufacturing date. The 10th character (letter or digit) in the VIN indicates the manufacturing year of the car. Manufacturing Plate: Most car models have a manufacturing plate in the engine compartment. This plate includes information such as the model number, engine type, engine displacement, and manufacturing date. Owner's Manual: Generally, the owner's manual also contains the specific manufacturing date of the car. Car Glass: Look closely at the trademark on the windshield (usually in the lower left or right corner). There is a string of characters: for example, ...18, which indicates April 2018. Here, '18' stands for 2018, and the number of dots before the year is subtracted from 7 (7-3=4) to get the month. If it's 18..., it represents October 2018, where the number of dots after the year is subtracted from 13 (13-3=10) to determine the month.
