Teana's VIN number is located on the frame near the front passenger door, below the windshield on the driver's side, and also recorded as the vehicle identification code on our "People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driving License". The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), consisting of 17 alphanumeric characters, is the unique identification code assigned to vehicles upon production. Essentially, it serves as the "ID number" for each car. It contains crucial information such as the manufacturer, production year, model, body type and code, engine code, assembly location, etc., making it an important means to distinguish between new and used vehicles. The 17-digit VIN is divided into meaningful sections: Part 1: WMI—World Manufacturer Identifier (digits 1-3) indicates the vehicle's production location, whether it's a domestic or imported vehicle, and its origin. Part 2: VDS—Vehicle Descriptor Section (digits 4-9) provides information about the engine, vehicle configuration, etc. Part 3: VIS—Vehicle Identifier Section (digits 10-17) indicates the vehicle's production date, assembly sequence number, etc. Functions of the VIN: Checking the VIN of a used car helps verify the specific model details, including the production location, date, and configuration, ensuring consistency with the dealer's claims and preventing potential vehicle substitution. Additionally, the VIN can be used to query the vehicle's historical condition records, such as maintenance and repair records from 4S shops, insurance claim records, and vehicle registration records from traffic management departments. Comprehensive historical records can be accessed through vehicle history platforms, aiding in the identification of problematic vehicles like those involved in accidents, floods, or odometer tampering, which may have uncertain safety conditions.
