VIN Decoder FAQ

What is a VIN decoder?

VIN Decoder is a software that will break down a Vehicle Identification Number into a vehicle specification.
What data can be decoded from a VIN?

Manufacturers typically encode: Make, Model, Model year, Body, Engine details, Manufacturer identification, Plant location, Check digit and Serial number.

Vincario uses the basic vehicle details decoded from a VIN and pairs them with vehicle catalogs to enrich the results for another ~50 details as you can see in this example: WF0NXXGCHNJU66992
What is not encoded in a VIN?

Vehicle manufacturers don't encode into a VIN: color, features/equipment, crash accidents, vehicle history, recalls or maintenance intervals. If you really need these vehicle details, you can buy them from vehicle manufacturers directly. Using a VIN lookup API service you can't also decode license plate, number of previous owners or images.
Where can I find my VIN number?

The most typical VIN locations are: stamped in the engine area, on the steering wheel/steering column, under the passenger seat, inside the trunk (right or left side), on the door frame/door post, on a vehicle document.
Does the VIN number tell you the production date?

No, manufacturing month and year is not encoded into a VIN. Manufacturers encode a Model Year instead which indicates any manufacturer-specified evolution in the mid-cycle of a model range. It relates to the model cycle that the car is a part of and not when it was built.
