VIN decoder by make
Pick a make to see its WMI codes, the model-year character and how the check digit works.
Every VIN has 17 characters: positions 1–3 identify the manufacturer (WMI), 4–8 the model, body and engine, 9 is a check digit, 10 the model year, 11 the plant and 12–17 the serial number. These 20 make pages list the WMIs seen on 125,655 VINs in NHTSA complaint records, the model-year codes and a worked check-digit example.
