The first three characters of the VIN number indicate the manufacturer's code and country of assembly. Ford usually uses the code “1F” for Ford Motor (USA) and X9F for Ford Motor Company (Russia). The following symbols indicate the series and model of the car. For example, “F” for F series - F-150), ‘C’ for Focus series, “R” for Ranger, etc. Symbols after the series and model indicate the body type and specific modification of the car. The 11th digit indicates the year of manufacture - 8 - 2008; 9 - 2009; A - 2010; B - 2011; C - 2012.

This is the risk of taking a car that is under arrest, or it is subject to restrictions in registration. Therefore, before you buy a Ford, experts recommend checking the configuration by VIN-code.

Deciphering the Ford's VIN will provide information about the car, how many owners it had, where it was assembled and other useful data. Having studied them, you can be sure of the safety of the deal.
