Understand Your Vehicle: Know It, Drive It, Love It
Every character in your VIN reveals key details about your vehicle’s identity and history.
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code detailing a vehicle’s manufacturer, specs, and identity. It’s divided into three parts: WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier, positions 1–3) reveals the vehicle’s country of origin and maker; VDS (Vehicle Descriptor Section, positions 4–8) describes key features such as model, body type, and engine; position 9 serves as a check digit, using a mathematical formula to verify authenticity; and VIS (Vehicle Identifier Section, positions 10–17) encodes the model year, assembly plant, and unique serial number.
A VIN check reveals past accidents, damage, and repairs that might affect your vehicle’s safety and value.

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every motor vehicle when it’s manufactured. It serves as the car’s fingerprint, as no two vehicles have the same VIN. It contains information about the manufacturer, vehicle specifications, and production details.
Your VIN can be found in several locations: on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield, on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, on your vehicle registration document, insurance card, or owner’s manual. For motorcycles, it’s typically on the steering neck or near the motor.
