How to Determine a Car's Production Year?

[AaronLynn]

There are primarily two methods to determine a car's production year. Below are detailed explanations of these two methods: 1. Vehicle Identification Plate: The vehicle identification plate is located on the B-pillar of the driver's side door or inside the engine compartment. Generally, the manufacturing date is clearly recorded on the plate, making it quite straightforward. 2. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): The VIN is located at the lower left corner of the front windshield. This identifier serves as the car's ID card, containing extensive information about the vehicle, such as the manufacturer, year, model, body dimensions, etc. 3. Others: On the inner side of the car tires, there is a square marking that records the tire's production date. It consists of four digits, with the last two representing the year and the first two indicating the week number.
