Why to check the VIN number of the car with the decoder

VIN is a unique identification number consisting of 17 symbols. Checking a car by VIN allows you to:

  • The maintenance history of the vehicle. Helps you understand how the vehicle has been used and how well it has been cared for. It tells you about regular inspections, repairs, parts replacements and service providers. This reduces the risks of buying a car and allows you to estimate in advance the possible costs of future maintenance.
  • Determine original equipment. The VIN report contains information on engine type, transmission, body, and installed equipment. This helps to identify retrofitted cars or hidden defects.
  • Compare the data with the technical passport. Inconsistencies between the actual configuration and the information in the documents are a sign of risk. Such a check excludes legal problems during registration.

Basic inspection allows you to preliminarily assess the car without cost. The full report contains the entire history of the car by VIN-code. Using a decoder, you reduce the risk of buying a car with legal or technical problems. Checking a car by VIN Europe is a mandatory step when buying a lot from an auction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. If the VIN is not readable?
If the number is missing or not readable, there is a reason to be wary. The best solution is to refuse to buy a car with a dubious history of origin.
2. How to understand that VIN is fake?
Signs of forgery: violations of the geometry of the marking pad, traces of welding or grinding.
3. Is it necessary to check the VIN if the car was bought from an official dealer?
Yes. Even the dealer may not know the real past of the car, especially when buying used cars. Verification eliminates the presence of restrictions and legal risks.
4. Why should I check the maintenance history of my vehicle before buying?
This lets you know how the car has been maintained, whether there have been any major breakdowns or unresolved problems, and helps you avoid hidden defects and unnecessary costs in the future.
5. Where does BidCar get data from?
BidCar receives information about vehicle history directly from European dealers. This guarantees the accuracy and reliability of the data.

Where the VIN number of the vehicle is located

The VIN is a permanent body marking that cannot be removed or replaced. Standard locations:

  • Under the windscreen. On the driver's side panel, at the base of the pillar. The number is visible from the outside and can be read without opening the doors.
  • In the driver's door opening. On a metal plate or sticker near the lock. Not only VIN, but also weight and engine type are indicated here.
  • On the bonnet lid. In some models, the marking is applied to the inner surface of the bonnet.
  • In the engine compartment. On the front shield or on the frame near the engine.
  • Under the carpet or panelling. Especially on vehicles older than 10 years, the VIN may be duplicated under the seats or carpeting.

Decoding VIN history of a car

Each character of the VIN code has a meaning. The general structure is subject to the international standard and looks as follows:

1-3 characters (WMI) - World Manufacturer's Identifier. For example, W0L stands for Opel manufactured in Europe.

4-9 symbols (VDS) - technical parameters of the car: body type, engine, transmission, safety level. This data allows you to accurately determine the configuration.

10 symbol - model year. Alphabetic or numeric designations are used, depending on the factory.

11 symbol - code of the assembly plant.

12-17 symbols - serial number on the production line.

The check digit, located on the ninth position, serves to check the correctness of the entire combination. VIN decoding helps to detect falsifications, inconsistencies in the documents and forgeries of the PTS.
