Where to Check the Production Date of a Car?

[LeKira]

The production date of a car can be checked in three places: the VIN on the front windshield, the engine's nameplate, and the car's manual. Generally, the car's manual clearly states the production date, so you can look carefully and then cross-check it with the nameplate on the car body to see if they match. The nameplate in the engine compartment is usually located inside the engine bay and is typically made of aluminum, displaying the car's serial number, engine displacement, model, brand, and importantly, the specific production date. Most nameplates in the market are located inside the engine compartment, but some models have them on the side of the passenger door. The 10th digit of the VIN represents the car's production date. Each vehicle has a unique VIN, but the production date can always be found in it.
