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

Hi Wildon, BHPians !

Please help me decode the folowing VIN for a Fiat Punto. MCA118C5E07043595HLZ

I can understand that this is a August'12 manufactured car. Dealer says that this is in transit and they have not received it yet. Does fiat keep cars for so long at their factory yards? Is there a a risk of a unit with complaints that has beed returned and repaired? Is this normal? Is it possible to answer these questions in any way by decoding the VIN

Thanks in advance !!

Looking at the FIAT sales it is possible that cars are kept in yards for longer periods. Do a PDI to make sure that everything is up to your satisfactory level.

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

Hey Wildon,

Is the I missing in the Month series intentional or is it a typo?

Decode:

10th character represents the YEAR of Manufacture
19th character represents the MONTH of Manufacture

An Example:

If your 10th VIN character is A, then it represents the Year - 2010
If your 19th VIN character is G, then it represents the Month - July

Month Codes:

A = JAN
B = FEB
C = MAR
D = APR
E = MAY
F = JUN
G = JUL
H = AUG
J = SEP
K = OCT
L = NOV
M = DEC

Year Codes:

A = 2010
B = 2011
C = 2012
D = 2013
E = 2014
F = 2015
G = 2016
H = 2017
J = 2018
K = 2019
