Why to check the VIN number of the car with the decoder
The VIN code is not just a set of symbols. It is the key to the vehicle's technical file. Deciphering the code through a professional decoder allows you to get the reliable information you need when buying a car from Sweden.
The main reasons to check the VIN code:
- Confirmation of the date of manufacture. Some sellers list the year of registration rather than the year of production. This affects the age of the car, tax rate and customs clearance. The report shows the exact date of manufacture according to the factory specification.
- Technical condition analysis. Through the VIN you can find out whether the car was involved in an accident, whether the loss of structural integrity or lien encumbrance was recorded.
- Comparison with documents. Information on VIN-code helps to check the data on the body, engine and in registration documents. A mismatch may indicate a criminal record.
- Equipment check. The decoder shows the factory equipment - engine, transmission, safety systems, body type. Especially important for premium brands, for example, when selecting on request Audi VIN configuration.
You can get the report in 1 min. No calls to managers, no subscriptions and delays. And most importantly - for free. The function to check a car from Europe by VIN code for free allows you to make an informed decision before concluding a deal.

Where the VIN number of the vehicle is located
You can find the VIN code of a car in several places. Manufacturers put it in different areas of the body and on the units to eliminate the possibility of falsification:
- Under the windscreen. In the lower left side on the driver's side, on the metal plate under the glass.
- On the driver's door pillar. Usually located in the lock area or on the frame of the opening.
- Under the bonnet. Embossed on a spar, shock absorber support or on the engine compartment panel.
- On the engine block. Can be engraved or labelled.
- Under the panelling on the passenger seat side. Often the number is applied under the mat or hidden under a special plate under the passenger seat on the right front side.
It is recommended to check the VIN in the car and in the documentation. Any discrepancies signal tampering and are grounds for further inspection.
