Read post #54 . I have given the link in which everyone can check the production date of VW, Audi, Skoda, Ford and may others.

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?

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.

@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]

@ 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.
