How to Check the Manufacturing Date of a Car and Its Tires?

[DiJosie]

Methods to check the manufacturing date of a car: 1. VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): Each car has a unique VIN, which can be used to determine the manufacturing date. The 10th character in the VIN indicates the production year. 2. Manufacturing plate: Most car models have a plate in the engine compartment that displays information such as the model number, engine type, engine displacement, and production date. 3. Owner's manual: Generally, the car's owner's manual also includes the specific production date. 4. 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 the year 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 means October 2018, where the number of dots after the year is subtracted from 13 (13-3=10) to determine the month.
