What Do the Last Six Digits of the VIN Represent?

[LaGeorge]

The last six digits of the VIN represent the production sequence number. Here are the detailed specifications: 1. World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI): Positions 1-3 indicate the manufacturer, brand, and type. 2. Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS): There are two standards—European and American. For the American standard, positions 4-8 are used; for the European standard, positions 4-9 are used. 3. Position 9: In the American standard, this is a check digit calculated through a weighted formula; in the European standard, it is the final digit of the VDS. 4. Position 10: Model year. 5. Position 11: Assembly plant. 6. Positions 12-17 (last six digits): Production sequence number.
