What is a VIN?
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle manufactured for sale in the United States since 1981.
Think of a VIN as your vehicle's fingerprint—no two vehicles have the same VIN. This unique identifier contains coded information about the vehicle, including:
- Manufacturer
- Country of origin
- Vehicle type and model
- Engine size and type
- Model year
- Assembly plant
- Production sequence number
When you run a VIN check through our system, we search through millions of records from various sources to compile a comprehensive history report for that specific vehicle.
