VIN decoder & Lookup

Do all cars have a VIN code?

The current principle of vehicle identification using a VIN code was developed in the 1980s and is an international standard. Gradually, all automakers in the world began to use this method of verifying the authenticity of cars.

However, to this day, there are many machines in operation that were produced before universal standardization. They should have their own identifiers instead of VIN. These are, for example, Japanese cars manufactured before 2000 — instead of a VIN code, they have only a short frame number.

Where to look for the VIN number?

Most cars have a VIN code, and you can find it in different places on the body. Automakers are trying to "mark" the frame, the engine compartment, and other parts of the car with a unique number. This is done in order to limit the unauthorized assembly of machines from different components (there are such "craftsmen" on the secondary market).

The VIN number, as a rule, is placed on such elements of the car that are difficult to replace: the

motor shield;

front wing shelf;

frame;

floor under the front passenger;

the support of the front suspension.

Most manufacturers place the VIN in 2-3 places at once. But the most familiar place is the engine compartment — it is here that a traffic police officer tries to look when he has doubts about the authenticity of the car.
