What is the VIN number?

The VIN (Vehicle Identification number) is a unique identifier assigned to each vehicle. It consists of 17 characters that contain information about the brand, model, year of production and the characteristic features of the vehicle. The VIN number is used to track the vehicle history, such as repairs, technical inspections and accidents. This is a key element when checking the technical condition and vehicle history before buying.

Where to find a VIN number?

The VIN number is placed on elements permanently related to the body. You can usually find it on the driver's side, in the service book, on the side of the engine and in various other places, which is often conditioned by the car brand. If you do not find it under the hood, you can look for it in the trunk, on the floor in the passenger cabin, on the threshold, on the front septum, the nest of the front suspension column, the floor in the passenger compartment or the dashboard.
