VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle, functioning like a fingerprint. It contains information about the vehicle’s manufacturer, model, production year, engine type, and place of manufacture. The VIN helps identify a specific vehicle accurately, which is useful for registration, insurance, and tracking its history, such as recalls or accidents. Each part of the VIN provides specific details about the vehicle, making it an essential tool for owners, dealerships, and authorities to verify and distinguish vehicles reliably.
