Where is the VIN?
1 Answers
Except for trailers and motorcycles, the VIN should be fixed on the door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or one of the door edges that connect with the door lock pillar, near the driver's seat. If such a location is not available, it will be fixed on the left side of the dashboard. If that is also not possible, it should be fixed on the inner side of the door near the driver's seat. Meaning of the VIN: Also known as the Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN, it consists of seventeen letters or numbers that can identify the car's manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other performance data. To avoid confusion with the numbers 1, 0, and 9, the letters I, O, and Q are not used. VIN formats: There are mainly two formats for the Vehicle Identification Number. The first is the ISO 3779 standard adopted by the EU, and the second is primarily used in North America. The two formats are compatible with each other.
