Why to check the VIN number of the car with the decoder
Checking the VIN using a decoder is a quick way to get a complete technical picture of a vehicle. This is especially relevant when buying a car from Europe. With the help of a decoder, you can:
- Find out the type of engine, transmission, drive, as well as information about the body and equipment;
- Check the maintenance history, if it has been recorded in European databases;
- Identify discrepancies between actual data and information in documents;
- Assess the degree of wear and tear and the residual value of the car based on its service history.
The report contains a QR code that confirms the authenticity of the information.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Latest VIN reports
Where the VIN number of the vehicle is located
The VIN code is located on the load-bearing elements of the body and is difficult to forge or remove without damage. It can be found in the following places:
- on the panel under the windscreen on the driver's side;
- in the door opening near the driver's door lock;
- on a metal plate under the bonnet;
- in the luggage compartment;
- in the glove compartment;
- on the power unit — the engine block;
- under the floor covering or carpet on the passenger side.
Before checking the car by its VIN number, it is recommended to record the code with a photo and compare it with the data in the technical passport. Discrepancies indicate possible criminal fraud involving the car.
Decoding VIN history of a car
The VIN code consists of three logical blocks:
- WMI (1–3 characters) — manufacturer and country of manufacture;
- VDS (4–9 characters) — technical characteristics: model, body, engine, safety systems;
- VIS (10–17 characters) — factory and serial number on the assembly line.
When checking a car by its VIN code, you can:
- Find out the origin of the vehicle;
- Verify the authenticity of the configuration;
- Eliminate errors when ordering spare parts;
VIN verification is a mandatory step when purchasing a car from Croatia. The service allows you to check the car by its VIN, determine its configuration, technical characteristics, and origin. Prompt verification reduces the risk of purchasing a car with a modified design and makes the purchase safe.
A unique 17-digit identifier is assigned to each car at the factory. It contains key information: configuration, origin, technical parameters. Checking a car by its VIN code allows you to reveal hidden facts about the car even before the transaction is completed. If, for example, you want to check a car by its Alfa Romeo VIN code, use the specialised Alfa Romeo VIN decoder: it will show accurate data on the factory specifications.
