Why to check the VIN number of the car with the decoder
A VIN decoder is a specialised tool that allows you to decode a vehicle identification number. It allows you to check a car by its VIN code and compare the data provided by the seller with the information recorded by the manufacturer and service databases.
With the help of the decoder, you can:
- obtain technical data about the car, including the model, engine type, transmission, body type, country and assembly plant;
- determine the configuration – the presence of standard equipment, options, safety and comfort systems;
- identify discrepancies between the declared model and the original configuration;
- evaluate the service history based on data from European dealerships;
- rule out the possibility of a VIN code replacement or attempts to forge the number.
It is recommended to check the car by its VIN code before concluding any transaction, especially when purchasing a vehicle imported from Cyprus, where intermediate countries of registration are often used.

Latest VIN reports
Where the VIN number of the vehicle is located
The VIN number is a combination of 17 characters assigned to each vehicle during production. The code is unique and is fixed in the structural elements of the vehicle. The following points are used for inspection and verification:
- Under the windscreen: on the driver's side, at the lower corner of the windscreen. The number can be seen from inside the vehicle.
- In the driver's door opening: closer to the lock, most often on a sticker or metal plate.
- On the engine shield: stamped or affixed in the area between the engine and the passenger compartment.
- Bonnet cover or front wing arch: typical for certain models, especially those made by European manufacturers.
- On the engine: in rare cases, the VIN is duplicated on the cylinder block or near the mountings.
It is recommended to check the VIN in several places. This way, you can make sure that the car has not been tampered with by fraudsters.
Decoding VIN history of a car
The VIN code contains information that can be decoded using a standardised system:
- WMI (1–3 characters) – manufacturer identifier. Indicates the country and assembly plant.
- VDS (4–9 characters) – model description. Encoded data on the body type, transmission type, engine size and modification, and trim level.
- Check digit (9th character) – confirms the correctness of the code.
- Year of manufacture (10th character) – indicated by a letter or number, used in model year classification.
- VIS (11–17 characters) – unique serial number on the production line.
Decoding the VIN allows you to obtain information about the car based on the VIN code, including its characteristics, installed equipment, and factory configuration. This is necessary when ordering original parts, completing documents, registering, or searching for a car by VIN code if the information is lost.
Buying a car from Cyprus involves certain risks. Many cars have been operated in hot climates and may have undergone technical modifications that affect their performance. To rule out the possibility of hidden defects or errors in the documentation, it is recommended to check the car using its VIN code. This allows you to determine in advance whether the declared technical condition corresponds to the actual one, find out the service history and confirm the vehicle's configuration.
