Decoding The Vehicle Identification Number VIN
The first three digits of a
VIN represent the World Manufacturer
Identifier -
WMI. If for example the first three characters are SAJ
this
indicates that the vehicle was made in the UK and that the vehicle is a Jaguar.
Digits 4 to 9 represent the Vehicle Descriptor Section - VDS. Vehicle
Descriptors vary with each manufacturer but are commonly used to describe the
vehicle body type and the engine size. The
VIN - Checkdigit value is used to verify
that the
VIN has not been tampered with and is written to position 9.
e.g. as above Check Digit value is [4]. Digits 10 to 17 represent the Vehicle
Identifier Section - VIS. Vehicle Identifiers are used to uniquely identify a
particular make of vehicle. This includes the year of manufacture and the
vehicle serial number.
