VIN number – what is it?

The VIN, or Vehicle Indentification Number, is a unique vehicle identification number that contains numerous and important pieces of information about a car. The VIN contains information such as country of manufacture, model year, drive type, engine version, equipment options, among others.

VIN numbers were first used in 1954 in the United States.  Car manufacturers such as Mini were already marking their cars in this way. Marking of this type began to be used by manufacturers in Europe. However, the first numbers looked very different. It was not until the 1980s (in 1981 to be precise) that the world’s manufacturers, together with the US manufacturers, finally agreed on this issue.

In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the United States standardised the format. Cars sold should contain a 17-character VIN that does not contain the letters I (I), O (o) or P (q) (to avoid confusion with the numbers 1 and 0).

A common standard has therefore been developed to facilitate the work of the police, insurance companies and used car dealers. From now on, the VIN of each car has 17 characters – letters and numbers.
