How to Check the Production Date on a Car?
1 Answers
The methods to check a car's production date are as follows: 1. The nameplate in the engine compartment. Inside the engine compartment, there is usually an aluminum nameplate that displays the car's serial number, engine displacement, model, brand, and importantly, the specific production date. 2. The small nameplate around the door seam. In addition to the nameplate in the engine compartment, there is also a small nameplate around the driver's or passenger's door seam, which clearly states the car's brand, model, production date, etc. 3. The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) under the windshield. Generally, there is a VIN under the front windshield of a car. The 10th digit of the VIN represents the production date of the car. Each vehicle has a unique VIN, but the production date can always be found. 4. The instruction manual provided when purchasing the car. Usually, the car's instruction manual explicitly states the production date of the car.
