MCA = Fiat India
1185AC = 1.4 16V E3 95CV/70KW EMOTION PACK
07006570 = Serial Number/Chassis No
JPZ = September 2009 manufactured

The dealer is giving you wrong information. If its a November manufactured vehicle then the last 3 digit will show as LPZ.

Sorry unable to get the Engine no of this vehicle at the moment.

Hi Wildone,

Request you to translate this for me : MAJAXXMRTA3E55757

Thanks.

Looks like an April 2003 model Ford to me :)

Great. It is an Ikon 1.3 purchased in July-2003. Am planning to sell and buy a Fiesta. Was doing some web research on Vin-decoding thru which as per my decoding it was appearing as a 2001 make..hence the doubt.

Thanks for the reply. Will bother you soon with my Fiesta VIN!

^^^ Here is some tip for your yet to come Fiesta VIN , if you are planning buy it in year 2009.

11th digit of VIN represents Year and 12th is Month.

if 11th = 9 then Year 2009
if 12th = K Then its October
D Then its November
E Then its December

Hi Wildone. Thanks a ton for giving a heads-up.

Thanks Wildon! The sales head of the dealership confirmed it is a Sept'09 make. Either the sales guy was misinformed or pulling a fast one on me. Is it OK to buy a Sept'09 model?

wildone, help...

I just have last few digits of i10 chasis and engine serial nos. Is it enought to decode it?

They are

491258 - chasis

277027 - engine

^^ No its not enough to decode it. I need the full 17 Numbers.
