If my calculations are correct, my car was manufactured in April 2012. Is that correct?

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

^^ Last 2 characters are still missing from the provided Chassis Number.
for e.g it will read like MA3FHEB1S00259646*XX

Dear Wildon,

Sorry to have bothered you, can you please decode the VIN of a XUV500?

VIN : M A 1 Y L 2 H J U C 6 G 7 2 3 6 3

In my opinion its July 2012, can you please reconfirm.

Regards
Sid

Hi wildon, I have received VIN of i20 as MALBB51RLCM454096.

The year of manufacture is clearly 2012. But there are only 17 characters. How to decode the month?

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

Hi Wildon,

Hope you can help me with the nuances with this one?
I know it is a June 2011, Fiat Linea T-Jet (BS4) with serial no 09027811 , but anything more than this?

MCA11041E09027811FMZ

Thanks in advance.

Wildon!

I got my VIN today for Honda Jazz: M A K G G 1 7 1 G C N 2 0 0 6 3 1.

From your guide, I could find out that it is July 2012 make. Is there some more information that you could possibly decode for us?

Many Thanks.
