Why to check the VIN number of the car with the decoder
VIN decoder is a service that extracts data from the dealer database. The report contains the information a buyer needs to make a decision:
- base and optional equipment,
- maintenance history,
- country and factory of assembly,
- technical specifications of the auto.
Checking VIN allows you to find out the real condition of the car. Therefore, in order to exclude fraud, it is necessary to check the car by VIN. For example, in Greece there are often cases of inconsistency of the configuration. VIN-decoder is especially relevant when buying cars from auctions and private individuals. This method helps to prevent legal and financial risks.

Latest VIN reports
Where the VIN number of the vehicle is located
The VIN code is applied by the manufacturer in several places on the body and in the underbody. It must be legible and match the data in the documents. The most common locations are:
- Under the windscreen: in the lower left corner on the driver's side.
- Door opening: on a plate or hammered into the metal near the lock.
- Engine compartment panel: most often near the shock absorbers or front shield.
- Engine block: some models contain a duplicate code on the motor.
- Under the seat or in the floor of the passenger compartment: accessible after removing the panelling.
VIN verification is not possible without an accurate visual inspection. Mismatched codes are a good reason to refuse the deal.
Decoding VIN history of a car
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique code consisting of 17 characters. It is an alphanumeric identifier in which information about the vehicle is encoded.
VIN code structure:
- WMI (1-3 characters): manufacturer and country of manufacture code.
- VDS (4-9 characters): vehicle characteristics: model, body, engine type, drive system.
- VIS (10-17 symbols): serial number, year of manufacture, assembly plant.
Checking the car by VIN allows you to decipher each part and get the exact technical parameters. For example, the data on the car by VIN includes the configuration, original options, market modification. This excludes the purchase of a car with substituted elements or non-original assembly. For owners of French cars is available to check Renault by vin-code with the official data of the manufacturer. We also check cars from Europe of other brands.
Cars from Greece come to the market with a clear operating history. The climate favours body preservation, road conditions are gentle and mileage is predominantly urban. This makes the Greek car fleet attractive for import. But even a well-maintained looking car may have hidden problems. Errors in documents, curled mileage, participation in accidents or mismatch of equipment.
Checking the car by VIN-code allows you to identify all these risks before the transaction. It is enough to enter the 17-digit identifier into the system and get objective information about the car. This is a quick way to find out the history of the car by VIN, check the technical data and make sure the documents are authentic.
