Vin Number(Vehicle Identification Number)由17個英文字母及阿拉伯數字組合而成，任何廠牌的汽車都有它的唯一的Vin Number(Vehicle Identification Number)，這裡面包含了該車的廠名、製造國、年份、車架編號、引擎種類等等。第一個字是該車的產地，如"1"是美國製造，"2"是加拿大製造，"W"是德國（其他地區號碼請見下表），所以你買了部日本廠牌的車子Toyota Camry，但 Vin 第一個字是"1"的話，表示這是一部日本牌子在美國製造的汽車。而 Vin 的第二個字代表公司名稱，例如「B」是 BMW 寶馬汽車，「T」代表 Toyota 豐田汽車，「H」是 Honda 本田，「V」是 Volkswagon 福斯汽車。
註：有些車廠有其特殊的車身號碼，如VAG (VW, Audi))集團，請參閱VAG集團(福斯,奧迪,保時捷)的車身號碼。
例如下面那台車的車輛號碼是"5TBBT48151S166686"，大家可以查已下的表得知，第一個字母是"5"表示這是美國製造的，Vin 的第二個字代表公司名稱，"T"代表 Toyota 豐田汽車。
這車型式年份是2001年的Toyota Tundra, 八缸 4700cc，四輪傳動小卡車。想要知道更詳細的資料嗎?請聯絡我們，我們或許能幫助您。例如這車是在佛州，有兩任車主擁有過，掛牌時間是2000年12月，里程數是41,444，這車在2004年12月出過重大車禍。
17 digit VIN numbers can be decoded by breaking it first into 6 fields and then using the decode tables below to translate the VIN (vehicle identification number) into a description. Several of the fields are manufacturer specific and are not included in the tables below:
Character #1, length 3 of the VIN number is the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) the first character is the country, the next 1 or 2 designates the manufacturer. (see table below)
Character #4, length 5 of the VIN number is the body style or features, which varies by manufacturer
Character #9, length 1 of the VIN number is a check digit, which helps programs verify that the VIN has been entered accurately
Character #10, length 1 of the VIN number is the model year (see table below)
Character #11, length 1 of the VIN number identifies the assembly plant
Character #12, length 6 of the VIN number is the manufacturer sequence number
There are over 1 million VIN patterns which includes the WMI and Body Style, to look up a specific VIN, and get a Vehicle History Report, go to www.autocheck.com.
World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI)
Note than not all the codes have 3 positions. In the case of two position codes, the blank code is not a blank, but usually represents part of the body style or division. If the third position is a "9", it means that the manufacturer will produce less than 500 units per year.
