Why to check the VIN number of the car with the decoder
You can check a car from Europe by its VIN at minimal cost and in a short time using the Bidcar.eu service. A VIN decoder is a digital tool that allows you to quickly obtain information about a vehicle without resorting to third-party services. Simply enter the 17-digit code, and the system will generate a report including:
- The actual year of manufacture, which may differ from that stated in the documents;
- The configuration, including factory options, engine type and transmission;
- The manufacturer and factory code where the car was produced;
- Registration data reflecting the number of previous owners;
- Data on repairs, replacement of parts, and servicing.
The service allows you to evaluate the car by its VIN code before completing the transaction. This eliminates the risk of buying a car with a re-stamped chassis number, hidden defects or non-original equipment. You can check a car by its VIN code in 1 minute: the report is generated instantly and contains a QR code for authenticity verification.

Latest VIN reports
Where the VIN number of the vehicle is located
The VIN code is a unique identifier stamped on the structural components of a vehicle. It can be found in the following locations:
- Under the windscreen – most often on the panel near the left pillar on the driver's side;
- In the door opening – near the driver's door latch;
- Under the bonnet – on the front of the engine compartment or on the engine cover;
- On the frame – on SUVs and commercial vehicles;
- Under the floor covering in the passenger compartment – on some models.
It is important to ensure that the VIN matches on all parts of the vehicle and in the documents. Any discrepancies require additional verification. Before checking the vehicle by its VIN code, it is recommended to photograph the number and compare it with the technical passport.
Decoding VIN history of a car
The VIN code consists of 17 characters. Each character carries specific information:
- WMI (characters 1–3) – country and manufacturer, e.g. TMB for Skoda;
- VDS (characters 4–9) – design features of the car: model, body, engine;
- Check digit (9th character) – verification symbol to prevent counterfeiting;
- Model year (10th character) – alphabetic or numeric code;
- Factory (11th character) – designation of the plant where the car was assembled;
- Serial number (12–17 characters) – unique identifier of the car in the batch.
This allows you to compare the actual configuration with the declared one and identify any tampering with the identification data. Thanks to the report, you can find out about the car by its VIN code and prepare for customs clearance with accurate figures.
Buying a car from Slovakia requires careful verification of its technical and legal characteristics. A visual inspection does not guarantee the authenticity of information about technical characteristics or equipment. The only way to confirm the information is to check the car by its VIN code. The report provides reliable data about the car before its delivery or registration. The service is relevant for those who want to check a Volkswagen by its VIN code before purchasing it, or a model of another brand, when buying it through an auction or ordering it from Europe.
