Hey Wildon,

The Chevy chart is not working for my Optra. The 9th and 10th characters are T and 6. It is a 2006 car. So, I guess 6 means 2006 but what about T?

). Could you please help me out in this?

Thanks Wildon, its a nicely compiled chart.

Can you help me in Decoding a 2 wheeler VIN. My dad is purchasing an Activa,
He wanted to see the vehicle in person, but dealer didnt permit it, but given the chasis number/VIN. Here it is: me4jc448cb8124615

I checked on MOTOVERSE.COM, its say it may be a 1981 or 2011 vehicle but didnt provided complete information.

Can you me in this.

Thanks.

@wildon

i have seen stickers pasted near the rear windshield of the cars which looked like VIN numbers is this true?

Also i wanted to know; Is the chaises number the VIN?

smrtdvl · 21st March 2011, 09:36

@ Furebo

Yes VIN = chassis number of the vehicle.

In fact most showrooms are aware of the term chassis number and not VIN.

As always thanx to T BHP

i found that my car will be a Feb 2011 model.

Thanks a lot for the confirmation

, was really confused regarding this.

One more question i wanted to ask was that is the chassis number located on multiple places on the car? Because i have observed that a similar number is present in the engine bay, below the driver side door and stickered to the side windscreen.

Any input regarding the same would be appreciated.

Without the VIN/chassis number you cannot find the month and year of manufacture.

Please have a look at the guide Wildon has posted and only if you cannot decode the VIN after that, then post your query here.
