ARTICLE: Find your car's date of manufacture (VIN)

[Majumdarda]

I am not able to find the link for decoding the Renault VIN. Can someone please help me out with the link. Booked a Kwid yesterday and dealer ascertains to have it delivered before March 28. I have asked them to share the VIN details before registering under my name. Expecting a Feb 2017 model, but nevertheless would like to be doubly sure. Please share the link.

In other words, is VIN decoding for Renault vehicles same as Nissan ?

Guys please help me decode this VIN. The car is Maruti Celerio VXI AMT. Here is the VIN-: MA3ETDE1S00394957. The 10th and 11th digits are 00 so I'm not able to find out the month and year of manufacture. Hope to hear soon.

Thanks

[HappyRoadie]

So the SA gave me full VIN No which is as follows-:

MA3ETDE1S00394957BH

By the VIN stamped, last two letters of the VIN is what tells the manufacturing month and year.

"B H" which is nothing but February (B) 2017 (H) model.

Hi Wildon,

I found a site which gives ready VIN Details, but not all details are available like the exact engine number or the particular model

The site that I just came across is :-

https://vindecoder.eu

For example for the VIN [MA3ETDE1S00394957], the details I got is as follows :-

Apparently, the site is able to produce more accurate details for some and not for others. Is there any particular site one can refer to get details about cars available in India (the new ones that are being sold). I understand that details like the Month and Year are identifiable by the VIN. But how to get the corresponding Engine / Chassis number associated with that particular VIN along with the respective Make, Model and Color of the particular vehicle.
