What is the normal factory production date for a new car?

[MiaLynn]

For new joint-venture and domestically produced cars, a factory production date within 6 months is considered normal, while for imported cars, the threshold is 12 months. The method to check a new car's production date is by examining the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): Each car's VIN is unique and can be used to determine the manufacturing date. The VIN consists of 17 characters, hence commonly referred to as the 17-digit code. It contains information such as the vehicle manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location. Correctly interpreting the VIN is crucial for accurate vehicle identification, which is essential for proper diagnosis and maintenance.
