Why to check the MINI VIN number with the decoder
A MINI VIN report is a practical tool for those who want to buy a car without any unpleasant surprises. We looked at an example of a buyer from Belarus who did not check the VIN code and found himself in a difficult situation.
Checking a MINI by its VIN code gives you:
- The ability to determine the exact year of manufacture — avoid unreliable data.
- Condition check — find out about repairs and accidents.
- Verification with documents — detect discrepancies.
- Risk reduction — be confident in your purchase.
- Free access — all information is available without payment.

Where the MINI VIN number is located
Many car enthusiasts do not know where the VIN number is located on a Mini. Manufacturers place the secret combination in various places, including:
- under the windshield on the driver's side;
- on the inside of the hood;
- on the engine;
- in the door opening on the driver's side, near the lock;
- under the interior trim, most often near the driver's or passenger seat.
It is worth checking these places before buying to ensure the authenticity of the car's history and origin.
MINI VIN decoding
- WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) — the first three characters indicate the manufacturer and country of manufacture.
- VDS (Vehicle Descriptor Section) — characters 4 to 9 encode the vehicle's characteristics: body type, engine, model year.
- Check digit — the ninth character is used to verify the correctness of the VIN.
- VIS (Vehicle Identifier Section) — the last 8 characters, of which the last four are a unique serial number assigned at the factory.
