How to Identify a Vehicle's Production Date?
1 Answers
Methods to check a car's production date: 1. The factory nameplate clearly indicates the vehicle's production date. Every car has a nameplate marking its production date, typically located in two places: inside the engine compartment and on the side of the driver's door. 2. Check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) below the windshield - the 10th digit represents the production date. Each vehicle's VIN is unique. 3. The 17-character VIN contains production date information in its 10th position. 4. Examine the car's VIN code - the 10th digit shows the production year. Each VIN corresponds to a specific vehicle and is commonly referred to as the vehicle identification number or frame number.
