Vehicle Identification Number

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique code assigned to every vehicle, serving as its fingerprint. It consists of 17 characters, including letters and numbers, which provide important information about the car, such as the manufacturer, model, year, place of production, and specific features. This number helps in tracking the vehicle's history, including ownership, accidents, and recalls. You can usually find the VIN on the dashboard near the windshield or inside the driver’s door frame. Understanding the VIN can help consumers make informed decisions when buying or selling a vehicle.
