Latest VIN reports
Where the VIN number of the vehicle is located
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique identifier assigned to each vehicle by the manufacturer. It is stamped on body parts and is recorded in the registration documents. The most common locations are:
- Under the windscreen, in the lower left-hand corner, on the driver's side.
- In the driver's doorway - on a plate or embossed on the bodywork.
- On the front of the engine compartment, closer to the windscreen.
- On the bonnet lid or the inside of the bonnet.
- Under the interior trim - in the area of the front seats or centre tunnel.
- On the engine or transmission case.
When checking a European car by vin-code, it is important to make sure that the number has not been subjected to mechanical intervention. Mismatched combinations in different parts of the car are a clear sign of criminal fraud.
Decoding VIN history of a car
The VIN code consists of 17 characters - letters and numbers, each of which has a meaning. The structure is universal and standardised.
- 1-3 characters (WMI): international code of the manufacturer. For example, ZFA - Fiat, VF1 - Renault.
- 4-9 characters (VDS): model parameters, including body type, drive, engine displacement, safety system.
- 10 character: model year.
- 11 symbol: assembly plant code.
- 12-17 symbols (VIS): serial number of the car on the assembly line.
On the basis of these data, you can check the car by vin-code, which allows you not only to determine the exact configuration, but also to identify modifications that are not specified in the documents. For example, to check the presence of stabilisation system, climate control or original audio system. In some cases, it is possible to check the VIN code of BMW for free, using a basic online decoding.
Buying a car from Italy is a popular choice among car enthusiasts. The mild climate, quality roads and a large number of official dealers form a favourable environment for buying cars with a good history. However, legal or technical risks are not excluded in case of an externally flawless condition. In order to exclude them, the car is checked by VIN-code. This is an accurate and quick way to find out the true history of the vehicle before concluding the deal.
