How to Check the Manufacturing Date of a Vehicle?

[McAndrew]

Methods to check the manufacturing date of a vehicle: 1. Determine the production date based on the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), where the tenth character (letter or digit) indicates the manufacturing date; 2. Most vehicle models have a nameplate in the engine compartment, which includes information such as the model number, engine type, engine displacement, and production date; 3. The vehicle's manual also specifies the exact production date; 4. Check the trademark on the windshield, usually located in the lower left or right corner, where a string of characters (e.g., three dots followed by '18') indicates April 2018—'18' stands for 2018, and the number of dots before the year is subtracted from 7 (7 minus 3 equals 4) to determine the month.
