As per the first page decoding guidelines:

4th letter - 'D' = April
5th & 6th letter - '1 & 4' = 14
10th letter - 'E' = 2014 (Model Year).

It is a April 2014 car. Replacement for the Ritz eh?! :D

Buddy, Please decode this VIN MA3ELMG1S00257335 for my new Ertiga Zxi. It is very urgent since the car needs to be billed by the dealer by today and I have been waiting for past couple of days for a reply. Help is really appreciated.

For details you may refer to the post by sidindica on 124 page.

Thanks.

Please decode MA1YT2HJUE6F10711 for my XUV5OO. Help is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

How I wish I could help you out with this one!

But unfortunately, I can decode only Hyundai VINs, thanks to Hyundai's online tool which I posted a couple of pages before. I'm completely clueless about 17-character Maruti Suzuki VINs.

My apologies for not being able to assist you on this.

I think our expert Wildon can decode it, but he hasn't posted in a long time. We're kind of worried about this - I hope everything's well with him.

You need the last two numbers of the VIN number. What you've posted is the 17 digit chassis number. Usually under the bonnet, there should be the same number followed by a special character and then two additional numbers/letters. Those are what you need.

Try looking for the last two characters after the 17 digit code like one found in the below image:




EDIT: Just saw the post by Deltaone :)

Hi there Wildon, I recently booked a Nissan Terrano and the VIN sent to me was MDHHSNA36E2006527. I think I've decoded it to be a February 2014 Manufactured Car. Could you please send me a PDF detailed report? Thanks in advance!!!!

Mercedes E Class, hopefully 2014 manufactured :wdd2120036l042900

Hi I have booked a Nissan terrano with MDHHSNAW5E3008878.Can anyone confirm i have decoded it looks to be a March model but the Invoice states to be a May model .

Yes as per the decoding method on the first page it is March 2014 manufactured.

10th VIN character is E, then it represents the Year 2014
11th VIN character is 3, then it represents the Month of March

Check it the documents thoroughly before proceeding.

Hi Wildon

Not sure whether its already been shared. Could you pl provide me the VIN decoding details of Renault, Duster to be precise.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can you let me have the details of the following VIN # MAJ1XXMRJ1ET52852. Its a Figo and when I check online it says invalid details.
