Where to Find the Vehicle Manufacturing Date?
1 Answers
To avoid purchasing inventory vehicles, you can check the manufacturing date in places such as the engine compartment, small nameplates around door seams, and the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) under the windshield. The details are as follows: 1. Check the nameplate in the engine compartment: Inside the engine compartment, there is usually an aluminum nameplate that displays the vehicle's serial number, engine displacement, model, brand, and importantly, the specific manufacturing date. Don't forget to inspect this carefully before buying a new car. All the information on the nameplate is stamped at once and cannot be altered unless the entire nameplate is replaced. If the manufacturing date appears crooked, blurred, or otherwise suspicious, it may indicate tampering, and such vehicles should not be purchased. 2. Check the small nameplates around door seams: In addition to the nameplate in the engine compartment, there are also small nameplates around the driver's or passenger's door seams, which clearly state the vehicle's brand, model, and manufacturing date. After noting the manufacturing date, compare it with the one on the engine compartment nameplate to ensure accuracy. 3. Check the VIN under the windshield: Most vehicles have a VIN under the front windshield. The 10th digit of the VIN represents the manufacturing date. While each vehicle's VIN is unique, the manufacturing date can always be identified from it.
