The VIN code is complete information about your vehicle. It seems that this is just a regular set of characters in a foreign language, but this is far from the case. After all, it will be unique for each vehicle. In addition to basic information about the year of release of the car from the assembly line and the country of assembly, you can also find out the information that is entered into the bases of the road transport inspection when registering a vehicle in any country. Thus, by the usual VIN-code, you can find out if the car has been hijacked during its entire existence, whether the vehicle has appeared in reports of road accidents, you will learn about the presence or absence of fines, where all vehicle registrations took place and where any service related to the machine. Agree that obtaining such information in everyday life is a rather difficult and time-consuming task, which is not the fact that it will bring the expected result.

In addition, the number of stuffed codes on different parts of the car can be any. Most often, you need to look under the hood to find the VIN code. If there is no information there, then examine the front door pillar, as well as the part of the floor located under the trim, where the driver's seat is. You should find a special code consisting of seventeen characters (both numbers and English letters). In addition to being on a car, the VIN code must be present on all documents of this car. Insurance, technical passport and registration certificate must have the same code, identical to that indicated on the machine itself.
