EUR 8.90 Full report
The Carlytics VIN decoder reads the 17-character VIN that identifies cars built for the UK, Europe, the US and most export markets. In Cyprus, where two in three newly registered cars arrive used from abroad, decoding the VIN is the quickest way to confirm that the car in the advert is the car on the registration certificate. Decoding is free; full history reports cost EUR 8.90.
What the 17 characters mean
A VIN has three parts. Each one answers a different question about the car.
Characters 1 to 3: who built it
The world manufacturer identifier. J means Japan, S the UK, W Germany, V France or Spain, Z Italy, K South Korea, and 1 to 5 North America. A UK-built Toyota starts with S; one built in Japan starts with J.
Characters 4 to 9: what it is
The vehicle descriptor: model, body, engine and safety equipment, written by the manufacturer. On many cars the ninth character is a check digit.
Characters 10 to 17: which one
The vehicle identifier: model year (character 10 on many makes), plant and serial number. European makers do not always use character 10 for the year, so a decoder that guesses it can be wrong.
