Where to Check the Manufacturing Year of a Car?
1 Answers
Specific methods to check are as follows: 1. Car Brand: It usually details the manufacturing date, engine displacement, and power (kW) among other parameters. 2. Nameplate: Located at different positions on the car, generally under the front passenger door; open the door to see it. 3. The vehicle nameplate is a label indicating the basic characteristics of the vehicle, including the manufacturer, model, engine power, total weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, factory serial number, manufacturing date, and manufacturer name. 4. VIN Code Positions 10-17: A set of characters designated by the manufacturer to distinguish different vehicles, with the last four digits being numbers. Position 9: Check digit, used to prevent input errors through a specific algorithm. Position 10: Model year, which is the year designated by the manufacturer, not necessarily the actual production year, but generally within one year of the actual production year. Position 11: Assembly plant. Positions 12-17: Serial number. Typically, vehicle recalls are targeted at vehicles within a certain serial number range, i.e., a specific batch of vehicles.
