1 Answers
Here is an introduction to the contents related to the vehicle year code reference table: 1. Look at the tenth digit: The tenth digit of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be used to determine the production year of the vehicle. Below is the letter reference table for vehicle production dates. To avoid confusion with the numbers 0 and 1, the English letters 'I, O, Q' are not used. Therefore, if the tenth digit of the VIN is 1, it means the vehicle was manufactured in 2001. The characters representing the year in the VIN are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y—a total of 30 characters, cycling every 30 years, starting with 1 in 2001. For example, vehicles produced in 2019 are marked with K, 2020 with L, and 2021 with M, and so on. To avoid confusion with the numbers 0 and 1, the English letters 'I, O, Q' are not used. 2. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): Each vehicle's VIN is unique, and the production date can be determined from it. The tenth digit, whether a letter or number, indicates the vehicle's manufacturing date.
