How to Check the Model Year of a Vehicle?

[VanPiper]

Methods to check the model year of a vehicle: 1. Refer to the manufacturer's manual provided at the time of purchase, which includes parameters such as the manufacturing date, engine displacement, and power; 2. The production date is also indicated on the vehicle's nameplate, usually located below the passenger-side door—simply open the door to view it; 3. Directly inquire with the manufacturer or the 4S dealership; 4. Check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)—the 17-digit VIN code located under the windshield, where the 10th digit indicates the production year. The vehicle nameplate is a label that displays the basic characteristics of the vehicle, including the brand, model, engine power, gross weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, manufacturing serial number, production date, and manufacturer name.
