Unlocking the Secrets of Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
A VIN is a unique 17-character code that identifies your vehicle. But what does each character mean? Breaking down the code reveals valuable information about your vehicle, including its year, make, model, engine size, and manufacturer.
What's Hidden in Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
A VIN is divided into three main sections, each revealing unique details about your vehicle:
- World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) - Digits 1-3 The first digit identifies the country of origin or final assembly point. The second digit indicates the manufacturer and production region. The third digit, combined with the first two, reveals the vehicle type or manufacturing division.
- Vehicle Description Section (VDS) - Digits 4-9 Digits 4-8 describe the vehicle's model, body type, safety features, transmission, and engine. The ninth digit is a check digit, calculated using a formula developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation, to prevent VIN fraud.
- Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS) - Digits 10-17 The tenth digit indicates the model year (for vehicles built in or after 1981). The remaining digits provide a unique serial number for your vehicle.
