What is a VIN?

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every motor vehicle when it's manufactured. Think of it as a vehicle's fingerprint — no two vehicles have the same VIN.

The VIN contains encoded information about the vehicle including the country of manufacture, manufacturer, vehicle type, engine size, model year, assembly plant, and a unique serial number.
