How to Read a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
1 Answers
Each digit in the VIN has a different meaning, with specific interpretations as follows: 1. Positions 1, 2-3, and 4: Country of manufacture code, manufacturer code, and body/chassis series code. 2. Positions 5, 6-7, and 8: Engine type code, vehicle model code, and occupant safety protection device code. 3. Positions 9, 10, and 11: VIN check digit code, model year code, and assembly plant code. 4. Positions 12-17: Production sequence number code. The VIN consists of 17 digits and letters, arranged in a combination that ensures no duplication for the same vehicle model within 30 years, making it unique.
