I got this over phone so I hope I got it right.
6th character is month, here it is 'A' so it is January, 10th character is year and here it is 'E' which is 2014.

Thanks B747. But I was hoping I'll get a little more info. The websites provide only basic information. Is there any way I can find out the specific model and colour? I just want to make sure the dealer is not bluffing. With Skoda you just can't be too careful.

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

Hi Wildon,

Can you help me with the detailed info of the Ford Fiesta with this vin: MAJBXXMRTB6MB2822

This is what I could get:
Ford Fiesta
Manufactured: July 2006

Thanks a lot!

carbum.

PS: It would be great if you could also tell us how you actually get the detailed info. Websites like http://www.myvehicledetails.com/ don't have much info.

0 and O are NOT used from what I understand to avoid confusion. Seems I'll have to check back. Could be D as you mentioned.

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

Wildon my friend, looks like Hyundai has reverted back to it's 17-character VIN numbers, from the 19-character VINs in recent times.

Booked an EON for my wife. Can you get more details from this?

MALA251ALEM274721

10th character is E, so it's a 2014 make. Color is Sleek Silver.

I would appreciate any/all other details you can bring up. The car is currently in transit from it's Chennai plant to my city, and delivery date quoted is 11/03/2014.
