Why to check the VIN number of the car with the decoder

VIN verification is not just a formality. It is a real tool that helps you avoid costly mistakes. One of the most common cases is a discrepancy in the date of manufacture. On paper, it is 2017, but the VIN shows the end of 2015. This difference affects the price and taxes at customs clearance.

 

The decoder allows you to:

  • find out the service history of the car - to make sure it is technically sound, honesty of the seller and avoid hidden problems in the future;
  • confirm the originality of the declared technical characteristics;
  • identify changes in numbering units (body number);
  • get access to the factory equipment - for example, find out Opel equipment by VIN.

 

The search system works quickly. Without the need to contact managers or wait for an email reply. The report is formed in 60 seconds. It has a QR code for authentication. This is especially important when reselling or formalising a transaction in another country.

Where the VIN number of the vehicle is located

The VIN code is always stamped in at least two places to avoid counterfeiting. It can be found without special tools.

  • Under the windscreen. The most accessible place. VIN is located in the lower left corner of the glass on the driver's side. Visible from the outside.
  • Door opening. Check the driver's side door pillar. The number may be embossed or located on the nameplate.
  • Bonnet lid. On some models, right on the metal part of the bonnet.
  • Engine. The code may be stamped on the cylinder block or next to the engine number.
  • Floor panel or boot. Sometimes the VIN is duplicated under the carpet or in the spare wheel recess.
  • Plastic panel in the passenger compartment. Less often - hidden behind the decorative panelling in the area of the front panel.

It is from these places that the number is read during diagnostics and inspection. It is important that all applications coincide and have no traces of damage.

Decoding VIN history of a car

VIN is a unique 17-digit code. It includes alphanumeric information about the origin, characteristics and serialisation of the vehicle. Deciphering the VIN allows you to find out the key parameters without contacting the manufacturer.

The structure is as follows:

WMI (1-3 characters) - identifies the manufacturer and country. Example: VF1 - Renault (France), W0L - Opel (Germany).

VDS (4-9 characters) - vehicle characteristics: body type, gearbox, engine, safety system, wheelbase.

Control number (9 characters) - protects against errors and fakes, checked by ISO algorithm.

Model year and factory (10-11 characters) - allows you to pinpoint the exact year the car was manufactured.

Serial number (12-17 symbols) - inpidual identifier assigned on the assembly line.

Thanks to this code it is possible to obtain an official one for insurance, registration and spare parts purchase.

Decoding VIN history of a car

When buying a car from Europe, it is important to make sure that all information related to the car is accurate. This is especially true in Belgium, where understatement of age, concealment of accidents or replacement of components are not uncommon on the used car market. Checking a car by VIN code allows you to identify such discrepancies before signing a contract. This is a reliable way to get an objective picture of the technical condition, history of use and origin of the car. It is enough to enter a 17-digit identifier and you get a detailed report in a minute.

You can check your car by VIN code online without intermediaries, overpayments and hidden fees. We provide full information taking into account the peculiarities of the Belgian market: detailed maintenance history of the car, technical characteristics, model, body type and so on.
