Why to check the VIN number of the car with the decoder
A VIN code decoder is a tool that reads and decodes the 17-digit combination assigned to each car during production. It is necessary to check a car by its VIN code in order to:
- Obtain information about the configuration. The report lists the factory-installed options, including transmission type, safety system, climate control, and multimedia equipment.
- Verify the authenticity of the car. The VIN code is linked to a specific model, year of manufacture, and manufacturing plant. Any discrepancy with the documents is a signal for additional verification.
- Study the history of the car by its VIN code. This will reveal information about repairs, insurance claims, service campaigns, and manufacturer recalls.
- Determine the region of origin. This is important when assessing the technical condition of the car, especially given the Bulgarian climate and road conditions.

Where the VIN number of the vehicle is located
To check a car's VIN code, you need to find it. It can be located in several parts of the body and structural elements:
- Under the windscreen. Most often, the number is engraved on a metal plate installed on the driver's side, in the lower left corner.
- On the door pillar. Check the driver's door opening — there is often a sticker with the code here.
- Under the bonnet. Some manufacturers place the VIN on the top of the front frame or engine compartment panel.
- On the engine. The number may be stamped on the engine block, but its accessibility depends on the specific model.
- In the documents. The VIN is always indicated in the technical passport and registration data. It is mandatory to check the physical code and the information in the technical passport when purchasing a vehicle.

Decoding VIN history of a car
The VIN code is a sequence of 17 characters (numbers and letters), each of which carries specific information:
- WMI (1–3 characters): global manufacturer identifier. For example, ‘VF1’ stands for Renault, manufactured in France.
- VDS (4–9 characters): vehicle characteristics – body, engine, transmission type, series and platform.
- Check digit (9th character): used to confirm the correctness of the entire code.
- Year of manufacture (10th character): encrypted as a letter or number.
- Factory and serial number (11–17 characters): indicate the production facility and unique serial number.
With the help of the service, it is possible to quickly obtain authentic information about the VIN code from official dealers.

Buying a car from Bulgaria requires careful preliminary verification. One of the key stages is analysing the VIN code data. This allows you to identify hidden defects and inconsistencies in the documents in advance and obtain information about the car's history.
