How to Check the Manufacturing Date of a New Car?

[NoraLynn]

There are several methods to check the manufacturing date of a car: 1. Check the metal plate in the engine compartment. Inside the engine compartment, there is usually an aluminum plate that displays the car's serial number, engine displacement, model, brand, and importantly, the specific manufacturing date. 2. Look for the small plate around the door seam. In addition to the plate in the engine compartment, there is also a small plate around the driver's or passenger's door seam. 3. Check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) under the windshield. Most cars have a VIN under the front windshield, and the tenth character of the VIN indicates the manufacturing date. 4. Refer to the car's user manual. The manufacturing date is usually clearly stated in the car's manual. After finding it, it's best to cross-check with the plate on the car body to ensure consistency.
