Congratulations, gaurav911!

Pleased to offer some assistance. However, are you sure the VIN you provided is correct? I'm not able to pull up the data for it.

The VIN you provided was MALA8516LEM139651.

If I change one character (C instead of 6), it pulls up the data perfectly well. Here are the details for MALA851CLEM139651:

It is a 1.2 Manual Asta(O).

Date of Manufacture - 2014/06/30

IHMIPB414
GRAND I10 14(INDIA PLANT-INDIA)
ZZ01(G4LAEM348388) {This is the Engine Number}
PT55(ME1772494215) {This is the Transaxle Number}
W5R PYN
DRIVE TYPE - RHD
WEATHER - THE TROPICAL ZONE
SEDAN - 5DR 5P
1200 CC - KAPPA
DOHC - MPI
GASOLINE - UNLEADED
MANUAL T/M - 5 SPEED 2WD

I'll add the full details in the form of a pdf soon.

Edit: I've created the pdf, but I'm not able to post it here (thanks to Apple's stupidity in giving its iPad rather limited functionality). Hence, I've sent you a private message. Please check your inbox for the full details.

gaurav911 · 25th July 2014, 14:59

Thanks a ton for your prompt reply.

You were spot on with the VIN no - error by the dealer who had messaged me the no. I posted earlier. Based on your information, I informed him of the mistake.

I tried using the Hyundai tool , checking out the link you had posted a couple of pages earlier. However, I was unable to extract the details even after the registration.

Thanks once again for sending the details via the PM

I believe you tried to access the details by typing in the VIN from the main page. This doesn't work unfortunately. You'll have to click on the link called Parts Catalog on the left menu, which will open a new tab in your browser. You can type in the VIN here, and click on the search (magnifying glass) button next to it. It will present the pictorial representation of the parts. To get the details of your VIN, you will have to click the small i button (one among the many such small buttons) on the right side of the page. Hope this helps.

Hi, I would need a help....

I see in the forum that Hyundai's VIN ought to be of 19 characters
What I have received from the dealer is just 17 IN LENGTH
"MALDH41EMEM020207"
Considering that the 10th character is E - I deduce the mfg year as 2014
How do I figure out the month of manufacture or the manufacturing date ?

Any help is greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance.

Hi! The 19-character VIN is stamped on the metal panel under the driver's seat. The last character after the * of this VIN represents the manufacturing month.

Yes, the year is indeed 2014 as represented by the 10th character 'E'.

The manufacturing month and date cannot be obtained with a single glance at this 17-character VIN.

In order to get the full details (apart from many other useful things) of your car, you can register for free on this site:

https://service.hyundai-motor.com:444/euro5/login.tiles

I can do it for you and post the details here, if you so wish.

Your car's date of manufacture is July 10, 2014 and it is a Bronze-coloured Elantra 1.8 SX, 6-speed Automatic.

VeeEight · 29th July 2014, 14:57

Hi RSR - Thank You so much !

Your confirmation that the year & month of manufacture as July 2014...indeed helps.

This suffices for now....

You have been of great help here.

Hi Guys,

I followed Wildon's guide to decode Brio AT's VIN, but I am still having a little trouble.

VIN = MAKDD183HENxxxxxx

MAK=Honda
DD1 = 1.2l iVTEC AT or MT?
8 = ?
3 = Grade?
HE= Aug 2014
N = Noida

I am just uncertain about the 'DD1' and '8'. Would really appreciate the help.

Update: Found this site http://www.myvehicledetails.com to decode the VIN.

The site confirmed that the VIN represents a 4-door Wagon, Automatic.
