VIN recorded on a Chinese vehicle license
A vehicle identification number (VIN) (also called a chassis number or frame number) is a unique code, including a serial number, used by the automotive industry to identify individual motor vehicles, towed vehicles, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds, as defined by the International Organization for Standardization in ISO 3779 (content and structure) and ISO 4030 (location and attachment).[1]
There are vehicle history services in several countries that help potential car owners use VINs to find vehicles that are defective or have been written off.
History of the bodywork number[edit]
VINs were first used in 1954 in the United States.[2] From 1954 to 1981, there was no accepted standard for these numbers, so different manufacturers used different formats.
In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States standardized the format.[2] It required all on-road vehicles sold to contain a 17-character VIN, which does not include the letters O (o), I (i), and Q (q) (to avoid confusion with numerals 0, 1, and 9).
After the introduction of the ISO norm, the manufacturers which produced vehicles for the American market very quickly adjusted to this standard. The ISO introduced recommendations for applying the VIN standard and its structure, and the bodywork number was also used in Europe. However, the sets of information contained in it were introduced gradually. For example, Volkswagen started to encode bigger chunks of information during 1995-1997, and the control digit during 2009-2015 for selected models from the group. The VIN control digit is also used, although not in all brand-models. In the European vehicles, it can be found e.g. in Audi A1.[3]
Classification[edit]
There are at least four competing standards used to calculate the VIN.
- FMVSS 115, Part 565: Used in United States and Canada[4]
- ISO 3779: Used in Europe and many other parts of the world
- SAE J853: Very similar to the ISO standard
- ADR 61/2 used in Australia, referring to ISO 3779 and 3780[5]
Components[edit]
Modern VINs are based on two related standards, originally issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1979 and 1980: ISO 3779[6] and ISO 3780,[7] respectively. Compatible but different implementations of these ISO standards have been adopted by the European Union and the United States.[8]
The VIN comprises the following sections:
| Standard | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISO 3779 | World manufacturer identifier | Vehicle descriptor section | Vehicle identifier section | ||||||||||||||
| European Union[9] more than 500 vehicles/year | World manufacturer identifier | Indication of «the general characteristics of the vehicle» | Indication that provides «clear identification of a particular vehicle» | ||||||||||||||
| European Union[9] 500 or fewer vehicles/year | World manufacturer identifier | 9 | Indication of «the general characteristics of the vehicle» | Indication that provides «clear identification of a particular vehicle» | |||||||||||||
| North America more than 2,000 vehicles/year | World manufacturer identifier | Vehicle attributes | Check digit | Model year | Plant code | Sequential number | |||||||||||
| North America 2,000 or fewer vehicles/year | World manufacturer identifier | 9 | Vehicle attributes | Check digit | Model year | Plant code | Manufacturer identifier | Sequential number |
World manufacturer identifier[edit]
The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the world manufacturer identifier or WMI code. A manufacturer who builds fewer than 1,000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit, and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars; 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars; and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks.
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the US assigns WMIs to countries and manufacturers.[10]
The first character of the WMI is typically the region in which the manufacturer is located although there are exceptions e.g. the WMI 7SA was assigned to Tesla Inc. in the United States in 2021.[11] In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture, although in Europe the country where the continental headquarters is located can assign the WMI to all vehicles produced in that region (Example: Opel/Vauxhall cars whether produced in Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom or Poland carry a WMI of W0L because Adam Opel AG is based in Rüsselsheim, Germany).
In the notation below, assume that letters precede numbers and that zero is the last number. For example, 8X–82 denotes the range 8X, 8Y, 8Z, 81, 82, excluding 80.[10]
Country or region codes[edit]
| A–H = Africa | J–R = Asia | S–Z = Europe | 1–5, 7F-70 = North America | 6–7E = Oceania | 8–9 = South America |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA-AH South Africa | J Japan | SA-SM United Kingdom | 1, 4, 5 or 7F-70 United States | 6 Australia | 8A-8E Argentina |
Vehicle descriptor section[edit]
The fourth to ninth positions in the VIN are the vehicle descriptor section or VDS. This is used, according to local regulations, to identify the vehicle type, and may include information on the automobile platform used, the model, and the body style. Each manufacturer has a unique system for using this field. Most manufacturers since the 1980s have used the eighth digit to identify the engine type whenever there is more than one engine choice for the vehicle. Example: for the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette, U is for a 6.0-liter V8 engine, and E is for a 7.0-liter V8.
North American check digits[edit]
One element that is inconsistent is the use of position nine as a check digit, compulsory for vehicles in North America and China, but not Europe.
Vehicle identifier section[edit]
The 10th to 17th positions are used as the vehicle identifier section or VIS. This is used by the manufacturer to identify the individual vehicle in question. This may include information on options installed or engine and transmission choices, but often is a simple sequential number. In North America, the last five digits must be numeric.
Model year encoding[edit]
One consistent element of the VIS is the 10th digit, which is required worldwide to encode the model year of the vehicle. Besides the three letters that are not allowed in the VIN itself (I, O and Q), the letters U and Z and the digit 0 are not used for the model year code. The year code is the model year for the vehicle.
The year 1980 was encoded by some manufacturers, especially General Motors and Chrysler, as «A» (since the 17-digit VIN was not mandatory until 1981, and the «A» or zero was in the manufacturer’s pre-1981 placement in the VIN), yet Ford and AMC still used a zero for 1980. Subsequent years increment through the allowed letters, so that «Y» represents the year 2000. 2001 to 2009 are encoded as the digits 1 to 9, and subsequent years are encoded as «A», «B», «C», etc.

On April 30, 2008, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration adopted a final rule amending 49 CFR Part 565, «so that the current 17 character vehicle identification number (VIN) system, which has been in place for almost 30 years, can continue in use for at least another 30 years», in the process making several changes to the VIN requirements applicable to all motor vehicles manufactured for sale in the United States. There are three notable changes to the VIN structure that affect VIN deciphering systems:
- The make may only be identified after looking at positions one through three and another position, as determined by the manufacturer in the second section or fourth to eighth segment of the VIN.
- In order to identify the exact year in passenger cars and multipurpose passenger vehicles with a GVWR of 10,000 or less, one must read position 7 as well as position 10. For passenger cars, and for multipurpose passenger vehicles and trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) or less, if position seven is numeric, the model year in position 10 of the VIN refers to a year in the range 1980–2009.[12][citation needed] If position seven is alphabetic, the model year in position 10 of VIN refers to a year in the range 2010–2039.
- The model year for vehicles with a GVWR greater than 10,000 lb (4,500 kg), as well as buses, motorcycles, trailers and low-speed vehicles, may no longer be identified within a 30-year range. VIN characters 1–8 and 10 that were assigned from 1980 to 2009 can be repeated beginning with the 2010 model year.
Plant code[edit]
Compulsory in North America and China is the use of the 11th character to identify the assembly plant at which the vehicle was built. Each manufacturer has its own set of plant codes.
Production number[edit]
In the United States and China, the 12th to 17th digits are the vehicle’s serial or production number. This is unique to each vehicle, and every manufacturer uses its own sequence.
Check-digit calculation[edit]
A check-digit validation is used for all road vehicles sold in the United States and Canada.
When trying to validate a VIN with a check digit, first either (a) remove the check digit for the purpose of calculation or (b) use a weight of zero (see below) to cancel it out. The original value of the check digit is then compared with the calculated value. If the calculated value is 0–9, the check digit must match the calculated value. If the calculated value is 10, the check digit must be X. If the two values do not match (and there was no error in the calculation), then there is a mistake in the VIN. However, a match does not prove the VIN is correct, because there is still a 1/11 chance that any two distinct VINs have a matching check digit: for example, the valid VINs 5GZCZ43D13S812715 (correct with leading five) and SGZCZ43D13S812715 (incorrect with leading character «S»). The VINs in the Porsche image, WP0ZZZ99ZTS392124, and the GM-T body image, KLATF08Y1VB363636, do not pass the North American check-digit verification.
Transliterating the numbers[edit]
Transliteration consists of removing all of the letters, and replacing them with their appropriate numerical counterparts. These numerical alternatives (based on IBM’s EBCDIC) are in the following chart. I, O, and Q are not allowed in a valid VIN; for this chart, they have been filled in with N/A (not applicable). Numerical digits use their own values.
| A: 1 | B: 2 | C: 3 | D: 4 | E: 5 | F: 6 | G: 7 | H: 8 | — |
| J: 1 | K: 2 | L: 3 | M: 4 | N: 5 | — | P: 7 | — | R: 9 |
| — | S: 2 | T: 3 | U: 4 | V: 5 | W: 6 | X: 7 | Y: 8 | Z: 9 |
S is 2, and not 1. There is no left-alignment linearity.
Weights used in calculation[edit]
The following is the weight factor for each position in the VIN. The 9th position is that of the check digit. It has been substituted with a 0, which will cancel it out in the multiplication step.
| Position | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 10 | 0 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
Worked example[edit]
Consider the hypothetical VIN 1M8GDM9A_KP042788, where the underscore will be the check digit.
| VIN | 1 | M | 8 | G | D | M | 9 | A | K | P | 0 | 4 | 2 | 7 | 8 | 8 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 1 | 4 | 8 | 7 | 4 | 4 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 7 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 7 | 8 | 8 |
| Weight | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 10 | 0 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
| Products | 8 | 28 | 48 | 35 | 16 | 12 | 18 | 10 | 0 | 18 | 56 | 0 | 24 | 10 | 28 | 24 | 16 |
- The VIN’s value is calculated from the above transliteration table. This number is used in the rest of the calculation.
- Copy the weights from the weight factor row above.
- The products row is the result of the multiplication of the columns in the Value and Weight rows.
- The products (8, 28, 48, 35 … 24, 16) are all added together to yield a sum, 351.
- Find the remainder after dividing by 11
351 MOD 11 = 10
351 ÷ 11 = 3110⁄11 - The remainder is the check digit. If the remainder is 10, the check digit is X. In this example, the remainder is 10, so the check digit is transliterated as X.
With a check digit of X, the VIN 1M8GDM9A_KP042788 is written 1M8GDM9AXKP042788.
A VIN with straight-ones (seventeen consecutive 1s) has the nice feature that its check digit 1 matches the calculated value 1. This is because a value of one multiplied by 89 (sum of weights) is 89, and 89 divided by 11 is 8 with remainder 1⁄11; thus 1 is the check digit. This is a way to test a VIN-check algorithm.
VIN scanning[edit]
The VIN is marked in multiple locations; normally in the lower corner of the windshield on the driver’s side, under the bonnet next to latch, at the front end of the vehicle frame, and inside the door pillar on the driver’s side.[13] On newer vehicles VINs may be optically read with barcode scanners or digital cameras, or digitally read via OBD-II.[14] There are smartphone applications that can pass the VIN to websites to decode the VIN.[15]

A vehicle identification number (VIN) (also called a chassis number or frame number) is a unique code, including a serial number, used by the automotive industry to identify individual motor vehicles, towed vehicles, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds, as defined by the International Organization for Standardization in ISO 3779 (content and structure) and ISO 4030 (location and attachment).[1]
There are vehicle history services in several countries that help potential car owners use VINs to find vehicles that are defective or have been written off.
History of the bodywork number[edit]
VINs were first used in 1954 in the United States.[2] From 1954 to 1981, there was no accepted standard for these numbers, so different manufacturers used different formats.
In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States standardized the format.[2] It required all on-road vehicles sold to contain a 17-character VIN, which does not include the letters O (o), I (i), and Q (q) (to avoid confusion with numerals 0, 1, and 9).
After the introduction of the ISO norm, the manufacturers which produced vehicles for the American market very quickly adjusted to this standard. The ISO introduced recommendations for applying the VIN standard and its structure, and the bodywork number was also used in Europe. However, the sets of information contained in it were introduced gradually. For example, Volkswagen started to encode bigger chunks of information during 1995-1997, and the control digit during 2009-2015 for selected models from the group. The VIN control digit is also used, although not in all brand-models. In the European vehicles, it can be found e.g. in Audi A1.[3]
Classification[edit]
There are at least four competing standards used to calculate the VIN.
- FMVSS 115, Part 565: Used in United States and Canada[4]
- ISO 3779: Used in Europe and many other parts of the world
- SAE J853: Very similar to the ISO standard
- ADR 61/2 used in Australia, referring to ISO 3779 and 3780[5]
Components[edit]
Modern VINs are based on two related standards, originally issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1979 and 1980: ISO 3779[6] and ISO 3780,[7] respectively. Compatible but different implementations of these ISO standards have been adopted by the European Union and the United States.[8]
The VIN comprises the following sections:
| Standard | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISO 3779 | World manufacturer identifier | Vehicle descriptor section | Vehicle identifier section | ||||||||||||||
| European Union[9] more than 500 vehicles/year | World manufacturer identifier | Indication of «the general characteristics of the vehicle» | Indication that provides «clear identification of a particular vehicle» | ||||||||||||||
| European Union[9] 500 or fewer vehicles/year | World manufacturer identifier | 9 | Indication of «the general characteristics of the vehicle» | Indication that provides «clear identification of a particular vehicle» | |||||||||||||
| North America more than 2,000 vehicles/year | World manufacturer identifier | Vehicle attributes | Check digit | Model year | Plant code | Sequential number | |||||||||||
| North America 2,000 or fewer vehicles/year | World manufacturer identifier | 9 | Vehicle attributes | Check digit | Model year | Plant code | Manufacturer identifier | Sequential number |
World manufacturer identifier[edit]
The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the world manufacturer identifier or WMI code. A manufacturer who builds fewer than 1,000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit, and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars; 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars; and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks.
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the US assigns WMIs to countries and manufacturers.[10]
The first character of the WMI is typically the region in which the manufacturer is located although there are exceptions e.g. the WMI 7SA was assigned to Tesla Inc. in the United States in 2021.[11] In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture, although in Europe the country where the continental headquarters is located can assign the WMI to all vehicles produced in that region (Example: Opel/Vauxhall cars whether produced in Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom or Poland carry a WMI of W0L because Adam Opel AG is based in Rüsselsheim, Germany).
In the notation below, assume that letters precede numbers and that zero is the last number. For example, 8X–82 denotes the range 8X, 8Y, 8Z, 81, 82, excluding 80.[10]
Country or region codes[edit]
| A–H = Africa | J–R = Asia | S–Z = Europe | 1–5, 7F-70 = North America | 6–7E = Oceania | 8–9 = South America |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA-AH South Africa | J Japan | SA-SM United Kingdom | 1, 4, 5 or 7F-70 United States | 6 Australia | 8A-8E Argentina |
Vehicle descriptor section[edit]
The fourth to ninth positions in the VIN are the vehicle descriptor section or VDS. This is used, according to local regulations, to identify the vehicle type, and may include information on the automobile platform used, the model, and the body style. Each manufacturer has a unique system for using this field. Most manufacturers since the 1980s have used the eighth digit to identify the engine type whenever there is more than one engine choice for the vehicle. Example: for the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette, U is for a 6.0-liter V8 engine, and E is for a 7.0-liter V8.
North American check digits[edit]
One element that is inconsistent is the use of position nine as a check digit, compulsory for vehicles in North America and China, but not Europe.
Vehicle identifier section[edit]
The 10th to 17th positions are used as the vehicle identifier section or VIS. This is used by the manufacturer to identify the individual vehicle in question. This may include information on options installed or engine and transmission choices, but often is a simple sequential number. In North America, the last five digits must be numeric.
Model year encoding[edit]
One consistent element of the VIS is the 10th digit, which is required worldwide to encode the model year of the vehicle. Besides the three letters that are not allowed in the VIN itself (I, O and Q), the letters U and Z and the digit 0 are not used for the model year code. The year code is the model year for the vehicle.
The year 1980 was encoded by some manufacturers, especially General Motors and Chrysler, as «A» (since the 17-digit VIN was not mandatory until 1981, and the «A» or zero was in the manufacturer’s pre-1981 placement in the VIN), yet Ford and AMC still used a zero for 1980. Subsequent years increment through the allowed letters, so that «Y» represents the year 2000. 2001 to 2009 are encoded as the digits 1 to 9, and subsequent years are encoded as «A», «B», «C», etc.

On April 30, 2008, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration adopted a final rule amending 49 CFR Part 565, «so that the current 17 character vehicle identification number (VIN) system, which has been in place for almost 30 years, can continue in use for at least another 30 years», in the process making several changes to the VIN requirements applicable to all motor vehicles manufactured for sale in the United States. There are three notable changes to the VIN structure that affect VIN deciphering systems:
- The make may only be identified after looking at positions one through three and another position, as determined by the manufacturer in the second section or fourth to eighth segment of the VIN.
- In order to identify the exact year in passenger cars and multipurpose passenger vehicles with a GVWR of 10,000 or less, one must read position 7 as well as position 10. For passenger cars, and for multipurpose passenger vehicles and trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) or less, if position seven is numeric, the model year in position 10 of the VIN refers to a year in the range 1980–2009.[12][citation needed] If position seven is alphabetic, the model year in position 10 of VIN refers to a year in the range 2010–2039.
- The model year for vehicles with a GVWR greater than 10,000 lb (4,500 kg), as well as buses, motorcycles, trailers and low-speed vehicles, may no longer be identified within a 30-year range. VIN characters 1–8 and 10 that were assigned from 1980 to 2009 can be repeated beginning with the 2010 model year.
Plant code[edit]
Compulsory in North America and China is the use of the 11th character to identify the assembly plant at which the vehicle was built. Each manufacturer has its own set of plant codes.
Production number[edit]
In the United States and China, the 12th to 17th digits are the vehicle’s serial or production number. This is unique to each vehicle, and every manufacturer uses its own sequence.
Check-digit calculation[edit]
A check-digit validation is used for all road vehicles sold in the United States and Canada.
When trying to validate a VIN with a check digit, first either (a) remove the check digit for the purpose of calculation or (b) use a weight of zero (see below) to cancel it out. The original value of the check digit is then compared with the calculated value. If the calculated value is 0–9, the check digit must match the calculated value. If the calculated value is 10, the check digit must be X. If the two values do not match (and there was no error in the calculation), then there is a mistake in the VIN. However, a match does not prove the VIN is correct, because there is still a 1/11 chance that any two distinct VINs have a matching check digit: for example, the valid VINs 5GZCZ43D13S812715 (correct with leading five) and SGZCZ43D13S812715 (incorrect with leading character «S»). The VINs in the Porsche image, WP0ZZZ99ZTS392124, and the GM-T body image, KLATF08Y1VB363636, do not pass the North American check-digit verification.
Transliterating the numbers[edit]
Transliteration consists of removing all of the letters, and replacing them with their appropriate numerical counterparts. These numerical alternatives (based on IBM’s EBCDIC) are in the following chart. I, O, and Q are not allowed in a valid VIN; for this chart, they have been filled in with N/A (not applicable). Numerical digits use their own values.
| A: 1 | B: 2 | C: 3 | D: 4 | E: 5 | F: 6 | G: 7 | H: 8 | — |
| J: 1 | K: 2 | L: 3 | M: 4 | N: 5 | — | P: 7 | — | R: 9 |
| — | S: 2 | T: 3 | U: 4 | V: 5 | W: 6 | X: 7 | Y: 8 | Z: 9 |
S is 2, and not 1. There is no left-alignment linearity.
Weights used in calculation[edit]
The following is the weight factor for each position in the VIN. The 9th position is that of the check digit. It has been substituted with a 0, which will cancel it out in the multiplication step.
| Position | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 10 | 0 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
Worked example[edit]
Consider the hypothetical VIN 1M8GDM9A_KP042788, where the underscore will be the check digit.
| VIN | 1 | M | 8 | G | D | M | 9 | A | K | P | 0 | 4 | 2 | 7 | 8 | 8 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 1 | 4 | 8 | 7 | 4 | 4 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 7 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 7 | 8 | 8 |
| Weight | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 10 | 0 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
| Products | 8 | 28 | 48 | 35 | 16 | 12 | 18 | 10 | 0 | 18 | 56 | 0 | 24 | 10 | 28 | 24 | 16 |
- The VIN’s value is calculated from the above transliteration table. This number is used in the rest of the calculation.
- Copy the weights from the weight factor row above.
- The products row is the result of the multiplication of the columns in the Value and Weight rows.
- The products (8, 28, 48, 35 … 24, 16) are all added together to yield a sum, 351.
- Find the remainder after dividing by 11
351 MOD 11 = 10
351 ÷ 11 = 3110⁄11 - The remainder is the check digit. If the remainder is 10, the check digit is X. In this example, the remainder is 10, so the check digit is transliterated as X.
With a check digit of X, the VIN 1M8GDM9A_KP042788 is written 1M8GDM9AXKP042788.
A VIN with straight-ones (seventeen consecutive 1s) has the nice feature that its check digit 1 matches the calculated value 1. This is because a value of one multiplied by 89 (sum of weights) is 89, and 89 divided by 11 is 8 with remainder 1⁄11; thus 1 is the check digit. This is a way to test a VIN-check algorithm.
VIN scanning[edit]
The VIN is marked in multiple locations; normally in the lower corner of the windshield on the driver’s side, under the bonnet next to latch, at the front end of the vehicle frame, and inside the door pillar on the driver’s side.[13] On newer vehicles VINs may be optically read with barcode scanners or digital cameras, or digitally read via OBD-II.[14] There are smartphone applications that can pass the VIN to websites to decode the VIN.[15]

Расшифровка VIN автомобиля.
Водители неоднократно сталкиваются с идентификационным номером транспортного средства (VIN), предоставляя его в страховую компанию, при постановке автомобиля на учет в органах ГИБДД и в других областях авто сферы. Но для большинства из нас набор VIN кода, состоящий из 17 цифр, это простой набор букв и чисел, который на первый взгляд не имеет никакой логики. Но это не так.

В сети интернет о расшифровке VIN кода автомобиля написано немало. Различные сетевые ресурсы предлагают многочисленные способы расшифровки VIN кода. К сожалению, на многих сайтах информация либо не полная, либо не достоверная, что приводит к ошибкам в расшифровке ВИН номера. Наше интернет издание 1ГАИ.РУ решило объединить всю информацию, имеющейся в сети, которая будет простой для быстрого использования, с помощью чего Вы сможете быстро расшифровать VIN номер Вашего автомобиля.
Что такое VIN номер?
VIN — это набор буквенно-цифровых символов, которые наносятся заводом производителем автомобиля, на кузов автомобиля, который представляет собой зашифрованную информацию об автомобиле. Единый VIN код для большинства мировых автомобилей был принят Международной организацией по стандартизации (ISO) в 1980 году. До этого какой-то стандартизации не существовало, поэтому расшифровка ВИНа автомобилей, выпущенные до этой даты, является проблемой.
Простыми словами Вин автомобиля, это как код ДНК человека. Для каждого автомобиля присваивается свой уникальный код, который не повторяется. Другими словами система VIN номеров, эта первая в мире система стандартизации идентификации транспортных средств на глобальном уровне.
ВИН код автомобиля состоит из комбинации 17-ти символов, состоящие из букв и цифр, которые идентифицируют марку, модель и год автомобиля, а также несут в себе более подробные данные такие как тип двигателя и т.п.
Многие задаются вопросом, для чего это было сделано? Это сделано для того, чтобы ни один автомобиль любой марки и модели нельзя было выдать за другой.
Для чего необходимо расшифровывать VIN?
Декодирование ВИНа автомобиля в первую очередь необходимо при покупке автомашины, чтобы убедиться, что Вас не обманывают, предоставляя недостоверные данные об автомобиле. Владельцы автомашин часто пытаются скрыть различную информацию об автомобиле для успешной продажи.
В том числе это касается и новых автомобилей, которые приобретаются в автосалонах, где также могут скрывать некоторые данные об автомобиле. К примеру, часто новый автомобиль продают, скрывая от покупателя год выпуска, пользуясь возможностью изменить год выпуска транспортного средства, делая его на год моложе при первичной выдаче ПТС на таможне или в органах Госавтоинспекции.
К примеру, в нашей стране существуют легальные способы изменить год выпуска автомобиля, если дата выпуска по VIN номеру соответствует последним месяцам года. Так благодаря этому, дилеры, продающие новые автомашины, вносят не совсем достоверные данные о годе выпуска в паспорт транспортного средства (ПТС), что дает им возможность продавать автомобили по завышенной цене.
Где находится VIN автомобиля? Шаг 1
В зависимости от страны производителя VIN номер располагается в разных местах. К примеру, подавляющее большинство автомобилей, произведенные для рынка США, имеют VIN, который расположен под лобовым стеклом, который можно посмотреть не открывая капот автомобиля. VIN номер нанесен на кузов в таком месте, куда доступ затруднен. Это сделано, чтобы злоумышленникам было тяжело поменять этот номер на другой.
Также этот номер может наноситься на железную табличку, которая может быть расположена под капотом, на пороге водительской двери или на боковой стороне стойки водительской двери. Стоит также отметить, что в некоторых дорогих автомобилях, подобная табличка может располагаться внутри приборной панели.
Как только Вы найдете ВИН номер, начинается самое интересное.
Расшифровка VIN номера: Шаг 2
Для того, чтобы приступить к расшифровки ВИНа, Вам необходимо его визуально разбить на шесть частей, как показано на рисунке.
Марка/Модель: (символы с 1 по 3) Обозначают марку, модель и производителя автомобиля
Опции автомобиля: (символы с 4 по 
Эти цифры обозначают различные особенности конкретной модели, к примеру, такие как отделка салона, трансмиссия. То есть другими словами эта часть ВИН кода обозначает комплектацию и дополнительные опции автомашины.
Проверка #: (9-ый символ в коде) Значение девятого по счету слева символа вычисляется по сложной математической формуле, которая взаимосвязана с другими цифрами кода. Это сделано для контрольной проверки на предмет подделки значения VIN кода.
Год выпуска: (10-ая цифра в номере) Указывает на дату выпуска автомобиля. Отметим, что если автомобиль был произведен в конце календарного года, то производитель имеет право поставить в вин номере следующий год, хотя по факту он еще не наступил.
Завод: (11-ая цифра в номере) Обозначает завод, где был произведен автомобиль.
Серийный номер автомобиля (цифры с 12 по 17) Эти цифры указывают на порядковый заводской номер, означающий какой по счету этот автомобиль сошел с конвейера на автозаводе.
Примечание: VIN номер никогда не включает в себя буквы I, O и Q из-за сходства с цифрами 1 и 0.
Пример расшифровки VIN номера: Шаг 3
В качестве примера мы будем использовать следующий ВИН номер: 1ZVHT82H485113456, который был представлен на фотографии выше. Для начала нам необходимо расшифровать начало идентификационного номера транспортного средства, чтобы узнать марку, модель и страну производителя автомобиля.
Для этого нам необходимо расшифровать первые три символа: 1ZV.
Первая цифра в VIN номере всегда указывает на страну изготовителя транспортного средства. Есть многочисленные коды стран, но наиболее распространённые имеют следующие коды:
- США: 1, 4 или 5
- Канада: 2
- Мексика: 3
- Япония: J
- Корея: К
- Англия: S
- Германия: W
- Италия: Z
- Швеция: Y
- Австралия: 6
- Франция: V
- Бразилия: 9
В соответствии с нашим примером ВИН номера, первый символ в коде это цифра «1», что означает, что автомобиль произведен в США. Следующие два символа обозначают производителя автомашины.
Полное обозначение международных кодов производителей автомобилей можно узнать здесь. К примеру, буква «F» — обозначает, что производитель автомобиля компания Форд. Буква «G» — GM. К примеру, если VIN начинается с «1gc», то это означает Американскую марку грузовых автомобилей Шевроле, когда как «1g1» означает, что автомобиль выпущен в США, и что это марка легковых машин Шевроле.
Воспользовавшись расшифровкой с помощью таблицы международных индификаторов авто производителей автомашин, можно сделать вывод, что код, который начинается с 1ZV говорит о том, что машина произведена международным автомобильным альянсом, который образован для производства марок Форд и Мазда. Значит, начало кода означает, что этот ВИН нанесен на автомобиль Mazda или Ford.
Характеристики автомобиля по VIN номеру: Шаг 4
Выяснив марку автомашины, мы можем перейти к дальнейшей расшифровке ВИНа, чтобы выяснить по символам расположенные с 4 по 8 места в коде, которые обозначают данные об автомобиле. К сожалению, в разных странах производители применяют различный формат кодировки информации о комплектации модели и дополнительных опций.
Тем не менее, на примере Американских автомобилей Вы можете расшифровать ВИН. Так узнав в вышеописанном примере, что наш автомобиль является Маздой или Фордом, то по коду HT82H мы можем далее узнать более подробно, что этот код означает.
Первая буква «Н» представляет собой код означающий оборудование для безопасности, которое устанавливается на заводе в автомобиль и указывает, что транспортное средство имеет передние и боковые подушки безопасности. Если вместо буквы «Н» стояла бы буква «В», то это означало бы, что автомобиль без подушек безопасности, но в автомобиле использованы активные ремни безопасности.
Символы с 5 по 7 место в ВИН коде несут в себе информацию о самом автомобиле. В нашем случае это часть номера «T82H». Используя это удобное руководство расшифровки ВИН номера автомобилей Форд, мы узнали, что компания Ford символами Т8__ обозначает автомашины Мустанг купе.
При детальном рассмотрении таблицы, мы пришли к выводу, что это либо Mustang Bullitt, Coupe GT или Coupe Shelby GT. Так, что если Вам кто-то пытается продать Форд Мустанг и утверждает, что это серия «GT», а VIN номер показывает, что это модель Т80, то Вам лгут.
По этой же таблице мы сможем определить тип двигателя, установленный на автомобиле. Так в нашем примере после «НТ82» стоит буква «Н», которая означает, что машина оснащена 4,6 литровым двигателем V8. Если стояла бы буква «N», то это означало бы, что на автомобиль установлен двигатель с шестью цилиндрами, что насторожило бы нас, если бы при осмотре мы увидели в автомашине восьмицилиндровый мотор.
Использование контрольной цифры: Шаг 5
Большинство автопроизводителей используют девятый символ в ВИН номере для проверки контрольной цифры, которая означает, что весь VIN номер настоящий. Контрольная цифра высчитывается путем математического специального алгоритма. Так все цифры и буквы (для этого буквам присваиваются номера)в коде перемножаются (кроме контрольной цифры на 9 месте), и полученный результат делится на число «11». Если результат деления приводит к остатку идентичному с цифрой расположенной на 9 месте в ВИНе, то код настоящий.
Если Вы не хотите самостоятельно высчитывать настоящий ли ВИН номер перед Вами, то Вы можете воспользоваться специальным калькулятором.
Определение года выпуска автомобиля: Шаг 6
Начиная с 1980 года, во всем мире введен общепринятый формат обозначение года выпуска или модельного ряда выпускаемых автомобилей, который обозначается, в десятичном разряде. К примеру, если автомобиль был выпущен с 2001 по 2009 год, то в ВИН номере автомобиля будет стоять цифра от 0 до 8. В нашем примере на десятом месте в коде, обозначающий год выпуска автомобиля стоит цифра «8». Это означает, что автомобиль 2008 года.
Если автомашина была произведена между 1980 и 2000 годом, то вместо цифр использовались буквенные обозначения, начиная с латинской буквы «А» и заканчивая буквой «Y». К примеру, если автомобиль произведен в 1994 году, на десятом месте в VIN номере будет стоять латинская буква «R».
Автомобиль 2000 года будет обозначаться буквой «Y». После 2000 года, как мы описали выше, производители для обозначения года выпуска автомашин стали использовать цифры. Начиная с 2010 года, производители снова стали использовать для обозначения года выпуска ТС в буквенном обозначении. Так автомобиль 2010 года обозначали буквой «А».
Расшифровка, где произведен автомобиль: Шаг 7
11-ая цифра в индикационном номере автомобиля обозначает, где произведена автомашина. К сожалению общепринятого стандарта, для обозначения этого элемента в коде, не существует. Каждый производитель использует свои установленные нормы. Вся информация о порядке обозначения места производства есть в Википедии. К примеру вот страница с полным перечнем заводов компании Форд. На основании этого в нашем примере ВИНа одиннадцатая цифра «5» означает, что автомобиль произведен Авто альянсом в Флэд-Рок штата Мичиган.
Серийный номер автомобиля: Шаг 8
Последние цифры вин номера (с 12 по 17) означают серийный номер, по которому автомобиль сошел с конвейера завода. В случае с нашим примером автомобиль Мустанг имеет серийный номер «113456».
Для большинства автовладельцев эта цифра не представляет особого интереса. Но для редких автомобилей или автомашин, которые были выпущены ограниченным тиражом, эта цифра может означать многое. К примеру, чем меньше серийный номер, тем дороже стоимость раритетного автомобиля.
На нашем примере сборка автомобилей Мустанг производится на одной линии, поэтому серийный номер не несет в себе никакой важной информации.
Уменьшив масштаб фотографии, на которой зафиксирован наш пример вин кода, мы увидим, что код принадлежит автомобилю 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt. Сравните по этой фотографии информацию, полученную нами путем расшифровки ВИН номера.
Помните, что в интернете существует большое количество различных сервисов, которые предлагают Вам узнать по ВИН номеру информацию об автомобиле. Напомним, что большое количество информации в сети является не достоверной. Самое лучшие это расшифровка VIN кода в ручную, как мы сделали в качестве примера на автомобиле Форд Мустанг.
Также будьте бдительны при покупке автомобиля с рук. Если в результате расшифровки ВИН номера Вы выявили несоответствие в представленной информации собственником автомобиля, то лучше отказаться от покупки этой автомашины.
VIN (Vehicle identification number) – 17-значный идентификационный номер транспортного средства, в котором закодированы сведения об автомобиле. Многие путают ВИН-номер с номером кузова, но это две разные кодировки, поэтому в этой статье мы подробно остановимся на том, что такое VIN автомобиля, где он находится, и о чем может рассказать владельцу ТС.
Номер кузова – это сведения о заводе-изготовителе, представленные в виде шифра из букв и 9-12 цифр. Первые 4-6 символов уточняют модель и марку машины, а остальные представляют собой заводской номер кузова. Располагается он, обычно, на полу с пассажирской или водительской стороны или на лобовом стекле (в индивидуальном окошке).
VIN – номер состоит из 17 знаков и несет намного больше информации: кроме номера кузова (который в VIN указывается не всегда), код передает данные о стране производства, годе выпуска, объеме двигателя, трансмиссии. Номер уникален и не имеет аналогов в мире.
Расшифровка VIN-кода
Закон о формате ВИН-кода ТС был принят в 1977 году международной организацией стандартизации ISO и содержал рекомендации о маркировке, содержании кодировки, уровне защиты уникального номера. Благодаря закону, мы сегодня имеем возможность быстро расшифровать VIN, поучить необходимые данные об автомобиле и защититься от покупки угнанных машин с «перебитыми» номерами.
ВИН-номер – это комбинация цифр (0-9) и прописных букв латинского алфавита (I, Q и O), которая условно может быть разделена на три части:
- Первые три знака WМI (World Manufacturers Identification) – уникальный мировой индекс (описание) производителя автомобиля, указывающий на географическую зону, страну и наименование производителя, выпустившего машину.
Важно: если производитель выпускает менее 500 экземпляров в год, то 3 символ — число 9.
- 6 символов VDS (Vehicle Description Section) – данные о комплектации транспортного средства. Знаки с 4 по 8 уточняют тип кузова и двигателя, серию и модель автомобиля. Девятый символ – это контрольная цифра, по которой можно проверить корректность всего VIN-номера.
- Последние 8 символов VIS (Vehicle Identification Section) – дополнительные данные о ТС (год выпуска модельного ряда, завод-изготовитель, серийный номер самого автомобиля).
Иногда цифры и буквы ВИН-номера и номера кузова импортных авто отличаются, из-за чего возникают сложности при расшифровке комплектации. Связано это с тем, что автомобиль произведен за границей, а вин-код указан российский. Подобные несовпадения можно быстро уточнить в дилерских центрах производителя.
Где находится VIN-код на разных марках авто
Вин-номер у разных марок и моделей автомобилей может выбиваться в разных местах кузова (это право производителя). Например, на «американцах» основной код нужно искать в специальном окошке под лобовым стеклом (его можно найти, не открывая капота машины). На «европейцах» идентификационный номер находится в кузовной части, на автомобильных порогах или стойках боковых дверей.
У некоторых марок и моделей авто ВИН-номер имеет уникальное расположение.
| Марка автомобиля | Место расположения вин кода |
| ВАЗ 2114 | В багажном отсеке под запасным колесом, под капотом на правой опоре пружины передней подвески |
| Лада Веста | Правая стойка передней пассажирской двери |
| Лада Ларгус | С пассажирской стороны под передним сиденьем |
| Газель | На наружной панели передка, под капотом справа, на водосточном желобе над проемом правой сдвижной двери кузова |
| УАЗ Патриот | На передней панели под капотом транспортного средства, на раме за правым задним колесом |
| Дэу Нексия | Под капотом автомобиля, под обшивкой на полу со стороны пассажира |
| Дэу Матиз | Под лобовым стеклом с водительской стороны |
| Киа Рио
Киа Сорренто | Под пассажирским сидением, дублирующая табличка — на средней левой стойке, под лобовым стеклом с водительской стороны |
| Киа Спектра | В подкапотном пространстве на панели передка слева, в багажном отсеке на правой панели пола. Идентификационная табличка прикреплена отрывными заклепками к щиту передка |
| Опель Астра Опель Зафира | Правее переднего пассажирского сиденья, в ковровом покрытии предусмотрен специальный клапан. На некоторых моделях вин располагается слева под ветровым стеклом |
| Пежо 308 | За лобовым стеклом с водительской стороны, под капотом справа (надо убрать уплотнительную резинку и отодвинуть защитный кожух) |
| Рено Дастер Рено Сандеро | Под капотом на стакане амортизатора с правой стороны |
| Рено Логан | Подкапотное пространство – на полке коробки воздухопритока. На новых автомобилях — под передним пассажирским сидением. |
| Форд Транзит | Справа под крылом, на лонжероне |
| Форд Фокус | На лобовом стекле с водительской стороны, на полу с пассажирской стороны под обшивкой |
| Шевроле Круз | С правой стороны, в районе ног переднего пассажирского сидения, под специальной заглушкой, дублирующая маркировочная табличка — с водительской стороны на средней стойке |
Какую информацию об авто можно получить, зная VIN-код
При покупке подержанного автомобиля, необходимо обязательно изучить ВИН-номер, чтобы получить максимум информации о том, что вы покупаете. Зная идентификационный номер машины, вы можете обратиться к специализированным интернет-ресурсам (сайты ГИБДД, Госуслуги, Автокод и т.д.), чтобы узнать:
- кто производитель и настоящий владелец ТС;
- как эксплуатировался автомобиль (не был ли в такси);
- есть ли ограничения, обременения, залоговая история;
- технические характеристики машины;
- дату выпуска, точный пробег, попадание в ДТП, был ли в угоне;
- комплектацию, цвет и тип покраски кузова, тип обивки в салоне.
Проверка ТС по ВИН-коду помогает также избежать путаницы с данными и откровенного мошенничества перекупщиков.
Итак, чтобы исключить проблемы и обманные схемы при покупке автомобиля, желательно изучить его ВИН-номер и проверить историю машины по базам различных ведомств. На это вам понадобится не более 10-15 минут. При этом не нужно досконально знать структуру и содержание идентификационного кода – специализированные интернет ресурсы сами расшифруют маркировку, и выдадут вам всю необходимую информацию.
Номер VIN, принадлежащий автомобилю, — это зашифрованные WMI (индекс производителя — первые 3 символа), VDS (характеристики и год выпуска машины — средние 6 знаков) и VIS (серийный номер, код завода — последние 8 знаков) индикаторы.
У каждого транспортного средства есть свой персональный код, только он называется ВИН-номер автомобиля. По нему можно узнать историю транспортного средства, а также некоторые характеристики машины перед покупкой, продажей и подбором запчастей.
VIN — что это
ВИН-номер автомобиля — это уникальный, называемый идентификационным, код, в котором зашифровывается информация о дате выхода с конвейера, производителе и ключевых характеристиках машины. Обычно длинный, не поддающийся запоминанию набор цифр, часто называют номером кузова.
В некоторых моделях ТС, помимо нанесенного на раму, окно, двигатель, порог номера кузова, может быть дублирующий код. Он расположен симметрично, но с другой стороны авто, и чем-то схож с ВИНом. В СТС указан как номер шасси, который так же, как и идентификационный, должен хорошо читаться. В ином случае могут быть проблемы с регистрацией ТС. Номер шасси — один из вариантов страховой поддержки на случай, если деформируется/сгниет/повредится «официальный» ВИН на раме. Он позволяет успешно пройти экспертизу автомобиля на подлинность.
Какой должен быть длины
Любой современный идентификатор авто состоит из 17 символов без пробелов, знаков препинания или разрывов. Это могут быть цифры 0-9 или буквы из латинского алфавита, за исключением неиспользуемых в кодировании «О», схожей с нулем; «I», схожей с «1» и «L»; «Q», схожей с «О», «9» или нулем. Но если завод выпускает за год меньше 500 новых ТС, то ВИНы этих автомобилей будут состоять всего из 12-14 символов.
Длина ВИН-номера автомобиля
Дополнительная информация! Одно время, в промежуток между 1954 по 1981 г, вообще не существовало общих стандартов, поэтому сами производители определяли кодировку и придавали ей желаемую форму.
Регламентируют особенности шифрования международные стандарты: ISO 3780 и ISO 3779-1983 (рекомендательного характера). На их основании в России действует ГОСТ Р 51980-2002, который контролирует принцип формирования кода, место и правила его нанесения.
Как выглядит
Номер VIN, принадлежащий автомобилю, — это зашифрованные WMI (индекс производителя — первые 3 символа), VDS (характеристики и год выпуска машины — средние 6 знаков) и VIS (серийный номер, код завода — последние 8 знаков) индикаторы.
Пример: ХТА21124070445066, где «ХТА» — это WMI, «211240» — VDS, а «70445066» — VIS.
Где находится в автомобиле
Номер кузова автомобиля обязательно указывается в документах (СТС и ПТС) и на самой машине. В техпаспорте для ВИНа отведена отдельная строка, а на разных ТС месторасположение зашифрованного госзнака зависит от модели авто и предпочтений производителя (отечественный, зарубежный).
Отметим, что идентификационный код всегда располагается на тех частях кузова, которые меньше подвергаются деформации или не могут быть просто отсоединены от транспортного средства, а также заменены, как мелкие запчасти.
VIN-код в документах
При любом автоосмотре инспектор вправе сравнить номера в документах с теми, что на транспортном средстве, и при нарушениях целостности ВИНа (следы ручной пайки или краски, отсутствие кода), расхождении с номером в документации машина будет отправлена на экспертизу. Поэтому при обнаружении проблемы с содержанием кода не стоит затягивать с восстановлением символьного «шифра».
Небольшая памятка: по статистике, чаще всего владельцы авто сталкиваются с проблемой определения места нанесения идентификатора.
“Рено”
В “Рено” ВИН-номер автомобиля может находиться в 3 местах:
- на чашке правого переднего амортизатора под капотом вблизи кузовных швов;
- на правой стороне стойки кузова, расположенной между водительским и задним сиденьем;
- под лобовым стеклом.
Расположение ВИН-номера в автомобиле «Рено»
Также имеется дубликат, который нужно искать под обшивкой багажника на полу.
“Ока”
На “Оке” главное местоположение ВИНа — панель за аккумулятором. Дублируют же его проставленные символы спереди водоотражательного щитка или на поперечине правой части пола под задним сиденьем.
“КамАЗ”
В “КамАЗе” номер кузова автомобиля находится на задней части правого лонжерона подрамника. Дублируется же код на заводской табличке с основными характеристиками грузового средства в нижнем проеме правой двери.
“ЗиЛ-130”
У “ЗиЛа-130” идентификатор находится на блоке цилиндра справа, рядом с масляным фильтром.
Дублирующий код выбит на переднем торце рым-болта.
“УАЗ”
На автофургонах марки “УАЗ” с цельнометаллическим кузовом VIN наносится на наружную панель передка (под капотом) справа или на водосточный желоб, что расположен над правым проемом сдвижной кузовной двери.
“Урал”
В машинах “Урал” содержание зашифрованной информации можно найти в зоне порога правого дверного проема. ВИН будет нанесен на специальной панели с дополнительным защитным уплотнением.
“Шкода”
В “Шкоде” ВИН-номер может быть:
- на ребре водительской двери;
- на полу багажника (табличка);
- в нижнем левом углу ветрового стекла;
- в моторном отсеке на правой стороне чашки амортизатора.
Расположение ВИН-номера в автомобиле «Шкода»
Расположение кода зависит от модификации ТС, поэтому при его поиске нужно будет проверять основные места.
“Шевроле”
На “Шевроле” заводской идентификатор находится со стороны пассажира под ковриком в люке. Повторяет код наклейка, которая расположена на средней стойке с водительской стороны. Под капотом машины ВИН-номер будет отсутствовать.
“Хонда”
В “Хонде” ключевыми позициями для расположения ВИНа являются: низ лобового стекла со стороны водителя и пол в передней пассажирской части машины.
“Мерседес”
У авто “Мерседес” ВИН может находиться:
- над радиаторным бачком (в моторном отделении);
- на разделяющей салон и моторный отсек перегородке;
- на лонжероне в контурной части колесной арки;
- под передним пассажирским сиденьем;
- в правом проеме двери;
- в виде наклейки под лобовым стеклом.
Расположение ВИН-номера в автомобиле «Мерседес»
Место зависит от модификации и страны сборки.
“Мазда”
У “Мазды” код расположен напротив переднего сиденья в ногах пассажира. Дублирующая запись закреплена на центральной правой стойке. В российской сборке ВИН часто встречается под капотом на планке переднего правого крыла и в проеме двери со стороны водителя.
“Тойота”
В “Тойоте” планка с идентификатором находится под передним сиденьем пассажира. Шильдик копирует номер на левой центральной стойке.
Как узнать, какая комплектация у машины по номеру кузова
Информация о комплектации, основных характеристиках и дополнительных опциях ТС закладывается в среднюю VDS-часть, состоящую из 6 символов, то есть с 4-й по 9-ю позицию VIN после индикатора WMI. Сложив оба кода, можно прочитать ВИН. К примеру, X1F5410 значит, что это автомобиль “КамАЗ”, выпущенный на Камском автомобильном заводе в Набережных Челнах. Машина — седельный тягач (4) с полной массой автомобиля (5) 15-20 тонн в 10-й модельной версии.
Часто автовладельцы безрамных транспортных средств полагают, что номер шасси автомобиля — тот же самый ВИН-код. Это заблуждение, поскольку VIN присуждается двигателю и автомобилю, а идентификатор шасси — раме машины. При желании поставить автомобиль с рамой на учет в ГАИ необходимо убедиться, что на ней находятся 2 разных кода, а не один. Номер шасси и VIN должны быть вписаны в документы на ТС.
Расшифровка VIN-кода автомобиля
Последние 8 символов идентификатора машины называются VIS частью. В ней могут располагаться данные о порядковом номере транспортного средства (очередность выхода с конвейера), дате выпуска (у определенных изготовителей) и/или заводе.
Дополнительная информация! Часто очень сложно найти нужную деталь для замены из-за множества поколений авто. Номер ВИН может помочь автолюбителю избежать ошибок при покупке: многие продавцы маркируют товар в соответствии с идентификационным кодом.
Как узнать год выпуска автомобиля по номеру ВИН
Год и дату выпуска конкретного авто можно узнать по номеру кузова двумя способами. Первый — открыть специальную таблицу, где будут расшифрованы символы, обозначающие конкретные года. Но в такой проверке есть существенный недостаток: у разных изготовителей место символа, отвечающего за год выпуска, часто отличается, или его нет вовсе (как у большинства японских и европейских). При этом отдельные производители шифруют год на 11-й позиции кода (12-й обозначают месяц выпуска), хоть и считается нормой делать это в 10-м символе.
Основная расшифровка заключается в определенной последовательности латинских букв и цифр: сначала идут буквенные обозначения от А до Z, соответствуя годам от 1980 до 2000. Затем начинается числовая шифровка от 1 до 9 для 2001-2009 соответственно. Далее снова буквы А-Z для 2010-2020. Так через каждый промежуток происходит смена букв на цифры и наоборот.
Определение года выпуска автомобиля через ВИН-номер
Более простой способ, не заставляющий тратить время на поиски таблиц и уточнений расположения конкретных символов в коде, — это использовать готовые системы и приложения с проверкой ТС по идентификационному номеру. Такие сервисы, как “ВИН01”, “Автокод”, “Авто.ру”, в бесплатном доступе и всего за пару кликов показывают основные данные по машинам: год выпуска, категорию ТС, тип, объем и мощность двигателя.
Также с помощью идентификационного номера можно «пробивать» информацию о наличии запретов и залогов, количестве предыдущих владельцев и прохождений ТО (с указанием реального пробега). При этом уточнять: не находится ли ТС в розыске и не участвовало ли в ДТП.
Эти же «криминальные» данные можно узнать онлайн на сайтах ГИБДД и Судебных приставов или при личном посещении соответствующей организации.
