How to find out the owner of a car by car number - the best online opportunities. Deciphering the VIN code of the car

Good day to all the audience that reads my blog!

In our meeting today, I will tell you about how the vehicle equipment is deciphered by the VIN code.

The ability to decipher the vehicle configuration parameters from the symbols contained in the VIN number provides the motorist with a significant advantage. This is especially true when you need to compare data, information from the owner and body number data for their consistency and reliability.

Such a skill makes it possible not only to extract information about the car directly from the cipher, but can also save you from the gratuitous confiscation of the car by the traffic police, and even from an undeserved prison term, if you are unlucky and you become a victim of especially dangerous fraudulent schemes.

Offhand it may seem that the definition initial configuration car by VIN code is, although undoubtedly a useful skill, but still something far from the immediate needs when buying and selling a car, and that this is not particularly important.

In fact, it only seems so!

Yes, deciphering the VIN number in itself can help you a lot when choosing a car (not only a used one, but also a new one), and in the process of bidding for it, as well as in some other cases. But it is precisely the ability to extract data from this identifier about the original factory configuration vehicle(TS) gives high chances to avoid the risk of losing the purchased vehicle with especially cunning and dangerous fraudulent schemes.

How knowing the original configuration helps in the fight against fraud

When crooks prepare expensive ones for sale criminal cars, then they use more sophisticated and labor-intensive fraud schemes: they do not fit fake documents under the car, but vice versa - the car itself under the purchased original documentation and original body plates with the VIN code and other information, skillfully welded into place.

It is very difficult for a common person to distinguish such fraud. Usually, such a catch pops up after the transaction, if necessary, an examination body VIN numbers traffic police experts. And then goodbye profitably bought expensive car, farewell to the money for it, and with special bad luck and hello to the criminal case.

After all, it’s not so bad if the transport turns out to be just stolen: you will lose it and not return the money - this is very unprofitable, but that’s all. And if, in addition, he turns out to be an instrument of a crime, which can be especially dangerous: robberies, kidnappings, fatal assaults, premeditated murders, etc. horrors.

This is where checking the conformity of the equipment according to the documents, on the transport itself and encrypted in the VIN markers on the car body, helps - this way you can check the cleanliness of the purchased car with maximum reliability.

Do you get the point?

Shady car dealers are able to fine-tune only the most basic parameters between the documentation with the VIN code and the car itself. The factory equipment in all its details can be agreed only theoretically, but not practically.

And if you see that you deciphered by the VIN-number of the body factory equipment little corresponds to the one on the car and indicated in the documents, then Special attention during the examination, pay attention to the identification of non-factory welds around the marking plates, or at the joints of the body segments where they are attached.

At the slightest suspicion of welding something in such places, forget about this machine, but it’s better not to risk it at all and abandon this option if a configuration discrepancy is identified. As the saying goes, God saves the safe.

Vehicle identification number and body serial number

Here I will explain to you important nuance about the differences between the VIN number ( identification number vehicle) and body serial number.

The fact is that these two concepts are not identical to each other and many motorists are confused about their difference, and there really is something to get confused about: some brands have only VIN numbers, some only serial numbers, and most (today ) and those and others.

Moreover, the matter is not limited to simple confusion in the differences between the serial number and the VIN number. Such obscurity is used as one of the schemes for profit by werewolf cops, who suddenly discover a "discrepancy" in body numbers, point to it to an inexperienced driver and offer to “solve the problem” for a bribe, but in fact they simply rip off free money from people, doing nothing at all and not solving it.

Differences between VIN number and body serial number

The serial number of the body is responsible for the body itself, and the VIN-number for all vehicles. A shorter body serial is in most cases duplicated in a longer VIN number, but this is not necessary - in some cases, these numbers can be completely different. For example, on "loins" this is quite common and is considered completely normal.

The VIN number differs from the body serial number in the number of characters:

• The VIN is always 17 characters long;
• Body serial number can contain from 9 to 14 characters.

These rooms may vary in location. Here you need to know that the places for placing VIN numbers are usually maintained as standard, but the manufacturers have the body serial numbers at their discretion. For example, the serial number is often present on the steps, under the seats, on the fender liner, but the VIN number is not found in these places.

Attention! Even the complete difference between the serial number of the body and the identification number is not the basis for any sanctions from the traffic police.

The first 4-6 characters of the serial number determine the configuration of the body (its brand and type). The remaining 5 or 8 digits are the manufacturer's serial number.

To date, more than 20 countries in which vehicles are produced use VIN numbers to identify vehicles. True, there are those who continue to produce vehicles only with body serials (some Japanese and american models), but in this regard, things are still moving towards complete worldwide standardization of marking with mandatory identification by the VIN code.

Therefore, in given time it makes sense to decipher the VIN code, and not the serial number, which, as I said, is almost always part of the first.

I think that I have brought enough clarity to this rather difficult question so that you can more correctly navigate in difficult situations. Although sometimes, judging by the cases described on the network, ambiguity in identification marking it happens that during registration it even comes to technical expertise. But this is more of an exception and they are rare.

Identification marking locations

Now you should remember the standard VIN locations. Of course, the easiest way is to find out the VIN from the PTS and STS (passport and vehicle registration certificate), but you already know that in order to prevent fraudulent schemes, you need to inspect and compare the VIN numbers directly on the car itself to prevent fraudulent schemes.

These codes, often along with other data, are applied to special plates (they are called nameplates) that are fixed to fixed body segments in such a way that they cannot be changed or faked without noticeable damage.

In addition to the body, such nameplates can be attached to the chassis of the machine.

Here are the standard places where you should look for such signs:

• On dashboard(from the driver's seat) in the docking area windshield– VIN should be easily read from the outside of the car;
• On partitions engine compartment– necessarily in an accessible and readable place;
• At the bottom of the front door pillar from the driver's seat;
• On the bottom of the luggage compartment;
• In any place accessible for inspection of the chassis.

Here you should know that nameplates in luggage compartment usually placed only if the body is of the hatchback type. With a different design, the plate in this place may be absent and this is normal.

Also keep in mind that the locations of the plates must be listed by the manufacturer in the attached documentation for the car.

Nuances of standardization

Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) were introduced at the level of international standards in 1979 (they have been used in the USA and Canada since 1977) and today they are used by automakers in 24 countries.

But here it should be clarified that, as is usually the case in the field of standardization, at first there were several initial VIN standards, of which only one turned out to be universally recognized - ISO 3779:1983 (as amended in 2009), which is also used in Russia.

But today you can still find VIN-identification based on other standards. In this case, in the corresponding column Russian TCP it is usually indicated: "Does not have a VIN number."

There are three of these "extra" standards:

• FMVSS - USA, Canada;
• ADR 61/2 - Australia and New Zealand;
• SAE J853 - other countries.

The generally recognized standard ISO 3779:1983 is controlled by the SAE (International automotive engineers), which further develops it under the guidance of ISO (International Organization for Standardization).

In Russia, GOST R51980-2002 is responsible for this standard.

Structure and decoding

The VIN number contains an alphanumeric cipher of 17 characters, which is divided into three main parts:

• The WM code (3, sometimes 4 characters) is the manufacturer's international identification;
• The VDS code (exactly 6 characters) is the descriptive part;
• The VIS code (8 characters or less) is the indicative part.

WMI Code

The WMI (World Manufacturers Identification) code is the so-called. world index. It occupies the first 3 (sometimes 4) alphanumeric characters, which can be both letters and numbers.

In the first place is the symbol denoting the planetary zone of car manufacturing. There are six such zones:

1. Europe (S–Z);
2. Asia (J–R);
3. Africa (A - H);
4. North America (1 - 5);
5. South America (8 - 9 and 0);
6. Oceania (6 - 7).

According to this classification, Russia belongs to the European zone.

In second place is one or two characters that determine the country of manufacture of the car in relation to its geographical area. But here you need to understand that the country is identified not just by the second character, but by its joint alphanumeric combination with the first character.

In third or fourth place is a symbol identifying the manufacturer.

The symbols of the geographical area and the country are set in SAE, and the production identifier is set by the national organization of the manufacturing country (for Russia, this is NAMI).

Link to the table, in which you can see examples of such identifiers for the Russian Federation - there are quite a lot of them (more than two hundred).

Code VDS

The VDS (Vehicle Description Section) code is the so-called. descriptive part, which takes 6 alphanumeric characters.

Symbols 4 to 8 (by total count) define various technical specifications car. Among others, this may include the following information:

• Machine model and its modification;
• Model - 4th and 5th character;
• Wheelbase type - 6th character;
• Body type - 7th character;
• Unit type - 8th character;
• Transmission type - 9th character.

Here you also need to keep in mind that the last (9th in total) character is a part-time check digit, with the help of which, by means of calculations using a special formula, you can control the reliability of all other characters, since they are all tied to this verification number.

VIS code

The VIS code is the so-called. indicative part and it consists of 8 (or less than 8) alphanumeric characters.

Here are the identifiers:

• Model year - 10th overall;
• Production and assembly site - 11th place;
• Serial number of the vehicle - all other characters up to the 17th inclusive.

One nuance is connected with this block: the last 4 characters always have only digital, and not letter designation.

Well, now you are familiar with the general structure of the VIN number and will no longer get confused in it.

Determining the vehicle equipment

You can determine the complete set of the car by analyzing it VIN number by several methods.

This can be done like this:

• Manually;
• Through Internet services;
• With the help of software.

Here I will clarify that it is precisely the parameters regarding the configuration that manufacturers add to the VIN number more at their own discretion. Because of this, today there is no single database by which it would be possible to determine the parameters of the car automatically and in all details.

Therefore, the most optimal solution here would be to use several methods in combination, which, of course, will require some effort from you.

Manually

This is the most time-consuming method, and it can only be used after determining basic characteristics auto to collect information based on some primary data.

For example, for Ford Corporation cars there are, from which you can learn a lot detailed information for each model. True, the matter is complicated by the fact that this page is in English, but you can open two tabs on one of which include the translation, and leave the second in the original, and so, checking the Russian names of the elements and the English markings, find the required data.

There are also online catalogs, like the catalog from drom.ru, which describes models and their equipment for almost everyone cars, but there are no longer such detailed tables and markings, but there is more descriptive information.

But still there is one universal super-catalog with all the necessary marking tables and all in Russian. This is the carinfo.kiev.ua site, where you can quickly find everything you need, because there is an excellent interactive catalog table of contents for many brands, plus the site also has a corresponding service for working with the VIN code.

Through internet services

Through Internet services, you can quickly determine the configuration by driving the VIN code into the appropriate field. Here things are already more fun, but there are also difficulties.

There are quite a lot of these services, but not all of them work correctly: some do not work at all, others give out not entirely accurate information. Moreover, almost everywhere you can get only a certain basic set of parameters for free.

And already on paid services they offer to issue detailed data in all details. For example, on infovin.ru they ask for 200 rubles for a detailed report on the configuration, in other places more than 300. In general, if someone really needs all the details, then for payment, I think, it is quite tolerable.

But be that as it may, there are a number of good free online resources on the network where you can get valuable information on the basic configuration of the vehicle.

Of those that work with many brands and give out quite correct and necessary information I can note the following:

• vinformer - very good service, which is also used by the well-known autoportal ru (I checked the data for VAZ and Toyota - I received quite detailed information on the configuration);
• auto-japanese - and this service is designed to Japanese cars, including those that do not have a generally recognized VIN identification (for example, some right-hand drive models). Here, instead of the VIN code, the brand and body number are entered.
.

To get the most complete information it is advisable to break the VIN number for all services that accept it, because in some places there is something that is not in others, and vice versa.

With the help of special programs

I give this method here more so that you know about the existence of such. To date, the work of special software for decrypting VIN data is not highly correct and efficient.

This includes programs on the Windows platform: "VIN Decoder", "VINformer" and the like.

It is also possible to scan barcodes on nameplates (which have them) with smartphones and get some useful information in the field. But it also doesn't work very effectively yet. Although the future is this method, like all demanded mobile applications undoubtedly exists.

• Don't limit yourself to looking at just one VIN plate - you should look at them all, especially those in more difficult to reach places.
• For the convenience of checking VIN-codes, use a digital camera of good resolution.
• Please note that the VIN does not contain the letters Q, I, and O, as they resemble a one and a zero and have been excluded for this reason.
• You should know that the uniqueness of any VIN is conditional: it is designed for a period of 30 years, after which it is possible to reuse the same marking.

Conclusion

Now you know about the importance of obtaining information about the factory equipment of the car, you know how to navigate the codes of VIN-identifiers and know how to extract from them useful information. You also got an idea of ​​the level of complexity of this operation and the upcoming difficulties will no longer take you by surprise.

To most motorists, this 17-digit character set seems incomprehensible, even mysterious. However, you can find out almost everything about a car by the VIN code, because the VIN code contains almost all the information about it. This is a passport or a kind of DNA of any vehicle.

What is a VIN? What is it for?

This standardization system was adopted in the second half of the 20th century. It is regulated by the ISO 3779-1983 standard. The abbreviation VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number.

Prior to its adoption, it was possible to identify a car by body and engine numbers. The scammers interrupted, cut them down, trying to "confuse the tracks", to prevent the traffic police from tracking the history of the car, to determine its real owner.

Initially, the VIN code consisted of 7 digits and was applied to the chassis. Now it contains 17 characters (numbers and Latin letters). It contains a large number of information. By the VIN code, you can find out almost everything about the car:

• identify the manufacturer and present owner;
• get acquainted with the history of operation;
• to figure out specifications;
• clarify the year of manufacture, car mileage, participation in an accident;
• check out the kit.

Decryption vin code a car is in demand when buying a used vehicle, because unscrupulous sellers can hide the true state of things from the buyer, provide false data. But even if you buy new car in a car dealership, by deciphering the VIN code of the car for free through Internet services, you can specify its year of manufacture, model, choose the type engine oil for other relevant information.

How to find out the VIN code?

Clearly fixed, standard location identification code does not exist. The manufacturer places it at his discretion. It is applied to integral parts of the body, chassis. This may be a small metal plate on the front door pillar, under the hood, in luggage compartment, inside the dashboard. It can be applied under the windshield, with inside one of the wings of the car and so on.

In order to find out the VIN code, just look at the documentation that came with the car:

• registration certificate;
• registration certificate;
• insurance policy.

If you are buying a used car, make sure the 17-digit number on the paperwork matches the one on the vehicle itself.

For almost any car made after 1980, you can check the wine code for free on specialized sites. But, a motorist can do the same work on his own, it is enough to know the rules for decoding information encrypted in a 17-character alphanumeric set.

The VIN code consists of three blocks.

1. WMI - Manufacturer ID

These are the first three characters in which the geographical area (region - Asia, Europe, and so on), the manufacturing country, and the company are encrypted. The tables below show the decoding of WMI: the definition of the country and the manufacturer.

Deciphering the country in the VIN code

Some manufacturers have more than one WMI, while more than one manufacturer cannot be encrypted under the same character set. If a company for some reason has curtailed production and no longer manufactures cars, then after 30 years the identifier can be transferred to another company.

1. VDS - vehicle characteristics

This block contains 6 characters. They allow you to find out the complete set of a car by the wine code, vehicle model, body type, main technical characteristics, other options:

• 4th symbol - body;
• 5th character - engine;
• 6 character - model;
• 7, 8 characters - information at the request of the manufacturer.

Positions not used by the manufacturer are filled with zeros. The ninth character is a checksum to verify the authenticity of the car's vin code. To do this, the letters included in the block are replaced in a certain way by numbers, and a calculation is performed using a special mathematical formula. The check character value can be represented as a digit (0 to 9) or a letter (X) value.

1. VIS - distinctive features

The last eight characters indicate the features of this vehicle:

• 10 position - the year in which the production of this model was started, the value can be represented as a letter (from A - 1980 to Y - 200) or a number (from 1 - 2001 to 9 - 2009), with 2010 characters are repeated;
  Note: if the model was put into production at the end of the year (September - December), then the manufacturer can indicate the next year in the wine code.
• 11th position - information about the plant where the car was assembled;
• 12-17 positions - the serial number of the car assigned to it during intra-factory accounting.

In order for your decoding to be as accurate and complete as possible, after determining the country of the car manufacturer (by WMI), go to the manufacturer's website and check what information is encrypted in characters 4 - 11. This must be done, since many companies do not follow very strictly the provisions of the standard.

How to check the VIN of a car?

In order to be 100% sure that the car you are buying is not wanted or under bail, first of all check the authenticity of the existing identifier. Checking the vehicle's VIN code can be done visually. To do this, you need to carefully examine the symbols embossed on the details of the vehicle, paying attention to the same height, depth, width of their application. Then you need to compare their values ​​\u200b\u200bwith those indicated in the TCP.

You can find out if the car has been stolen on the Internet. You can easily find many different resources, information bases containing information about stolen cars. Here you can break through the car and search for the wine code for free. In fact, you can even check the complete set of a car by the VIN code for free.

There are many services on the Internet that offer services for decoding the wine code of a car, online both for a fee and for free:

• adaperio.ru;
• autodna.ru
• vin.auto.ru
• vinid.ru;
• vinexpert.ru;
• check-machine.rf;
• check-car.rus;
• carkod.ru

Most often, to find out the history of a car by the VIN code, specify the configuration, engine model, car color and other parameters, it is enough to enter a 17-digit character set in a special field and start the check. Some resources require introduction advanced settings(brand, year of issue). Please note that the information available on the network may not be entirely reliable, therefore, in order to obtain more accurate information, it is recommended to check the code wines on several sites.

1. Site gibdd.ru

Since 2014 function free check VIN code is available on the official website of the traffic police. It is available to all citizens of our country in any region. With it, you can:

• identify information about the search for a car;
• perform a fine check;
• find out if there are any restrictions on registration actions with TS.

To receive the service, just click on the "Vehicle Check" button on the main page of the site.

On the next page, enter the VIN code of the car in the appropriate fields and click "Start verification".

Antirobot will ask you to enter security characters, after which it will display the results of the check. If you do not have a VIN code, then you can use the body number, chassis number to identify the vehicle.

The service allows you to check the car VIN-code, license plate, collecting data from various information databases, other sources: traffic police, banks, courts, customs, courts, and so on.

To start the function, you need to enter your VIN code on the main page of the site or government number and click on the "Check" button.

This service provides only a summary report for free. After making the payment (267 rubles), you will get access to more data:

• engine number, body;
• wheel formula;
• data on PTS and owners of the vehicle;
• mileage;
• participation in an accident and so on.

Work with other services is similar to those presented above.

Enter the VIN code in the appropriate field and click on the "Check" button

For more information, click "Decrypt".

Enter the VIN and click on the "Check VIN" button.

Only basic information will be provided to you free of charge.

For detailed information, you will need to pay a small amount. In this case, you will learn the most full details about the vehicle, the history of its operation.

In any case, the verification is very convenient. It takes very little time, and the data available about the car is displayed directly on the monitor screen.

One of the key identifiers of any vehicle is government number indicated on the front and back of the machine. Printed on a plastic or metal base, this special sign contains key information about the car, in particular, by the number it is easy to determine in which particular administrative district he was registered. You can see the alphanumeric combination on any vehicle, including a truck or motorcycle - a state number is assigned on an individual basis, when registering with the traffic police.

With the help of such designations, the road inspectorate records the participation of a particular vehicle in an accident and determines its status, for example, as a bank pledge or seized property. Information about cars across the country is summarized in single base data, which can be useful not only to representatives of the authorities, but also to ordinary citizens.

First of all, we are talking about private individuals and entrepreneurs interested in purchasing cars for secondary market. If the vehicle was in operation, then there is always the possibility of imposing certain registration restrictions and prohibitions. Legally, it is impossible to buy such a car, respectively, the offer for sale can be an ordinary fraud. A very unpleasant surprise can be technical condition car, for example, if the seller indicates a lower mileage or "forgets" to report repairs after an accident. The easiest way to avoid unnecessary risks is check car by state number especially since it does not require any excessive effort. All that is required is to indicate an individual sign on the site site, where the database is updated daily and you can be one hundred percent sure of the truthfulness of the information.

Who should think about checking a car?

Even more experienced drivers sometimes they don’t know what kind of information is encrypted in the license plate, although there is nothing difficult in “reading” the data. It should be noted that in the territory of the Russian Federation since 1993, state numbers are formed from two parts:

• the main one, consisting of three letters that indicate the series, as well as three numbers, which are set for each car separately when registering with the State traffic inspectorate;
• additional (located on the right side) - the region code, the letter abbreviation "RU", as well as the flag of Russia are indicated here.

However, in order to find out exactly where the car is registered, it is not at all necessary to memorize the codes of different federal districts. There is a much easier way - online check on the site site, and with the help of it it will be possible to obtain not only information about the territorial affiliation, but also data on previous owners, equipment, legal history, the number of repair work and much more. Opportunity check car by state number will be of interest to different categories of customers, namely:

• firms engaged in the resale of cars;
• individuals who want to buy a used car;
• managers of parking lots and car repair shops;
• car sellers who want to provide potential customers with really reliable information about the proposed vehicles.

Find out the history of the car before buying quickly and easily offers Autocode! In this case, you do not need to look for vin - just indicate the state number of the car. A search database based on data from the traffic police will provide reliable information and avoid difficulties in the further use of the car.

What will the check by car number tell you

A full report is generated within 5 minutes! From it you will learn:

• Brief description of the car
• TCP data
• History of registration actions
• Real mileage
• Data on participation in an accident
• The real vin of the car
• Traffic police restrictions
• Information about the theft
• Being in pledge
• work in a taxi
• Disposal data
• OSAGO
• Information about those examination and fines

You can check the car by state number without leaving your home. In addition to online information, you will receive an exact copy of the detailed report by mail.

Why is it important to check the car according to the state. number

— Victim, did you recognize the person who stole your car?

“Your Honor, after his lawyer's speech, I doubt I had a car at all.

Evgeny Loginov, auto expert, project manager "My Expert - Yekaterinburg"

“A car is a technically complex product (as I like to tell my clients: “It’s not like going to the store for bread”), which is why even a new car with a mileage of 10,000 km and only one owner needs to be checked carefully.

In our work, we often encounter the fact that sellers do not agree and sell cars after an accident, with corrected mileage, problematic engines and gearboxes. It happens even worse - you can run into intermediaries in the sale, or, more simply, outbids. These comrades alter the steering wheels, re-tighten the interior, restore the vehicle after the most serious accidents, when the geometry of the cars is broken or the airbags work.

Buying such a car, to put it mildly, “not a clean history”, you not only risk getting an expensive repair of the engine, gearbox, and other elements, but you simply risk your life! In the event of a repeated accident on such a car, the airbags are unlikely to work ...

Another important aspect of buying a used car is the legal component. Whatever it was good car, if he has problems with documents, there are restrictions on registration or he is stolen, you will not register such a car! The most innocuous is simply a restriction in registration due to a fine that has not been paid former owner. Much more serious - if the car's VIN number is broken, the frame number is not readable or the frame number is erased, the engine number is missing.

What happens if you do not break through the car before buying

- Honey, my car broke down.

- Strongly?

- In half.

Real stories of victims:

Alexei

“A year ago, my wife and I bought a used car. When buying, no errors were found. In addition, on the recommendation of the seller, we went to the nearest service, where we were assured that with the car full order. How to check the car in other ways, we did not think. In general, they took their word for it and seriously screwed up on this. Because when registering with the traffic police, it turned out that the car was restored after a major accident. For good work cars were missing a lot expensive parts. What can I say? I was able to sell only for spare parts.

Michael

“A few years ago I bought a car from a private person, together we deregistered it and registered it in my name. A few months later, the police came to me and took the TCP for examination of signatures, and then the car itself. It turned out that the first owner turned to the scammers to sell the car, after which he never saw them again. All this time the car was wanted, and I was neither asleep nor in spirit. The seller was never found. I did not have a receipt for the transfer of money, nor the real data of the seller. Left without everything, in short. Now I'm triple careful."

How to break through a car according to the state. number per minute

The algorithm of verification actions is as simple as possible. Follow the points:

To break through a car by state number, you do not need to go anywhere, look for vin and other data. Verification is carried out in 3 steps!

How we create reports

Especially for you, we collect information from all sources available to us. They include both state (traffic police base) and commercial structures, including Insurance companies. From a huge amount of data, we form a single, most informative report for each car. You will receive vehicle data online, also to your email a copy of the report will be sent.

Why is it better to check a car through Autocode

With Autocode, you can check the car by state number online quickly and efficiently. The check allows you to trace the car through the base literally from the conveyor to the place of sale. Required Information Not only private individuals, but also specialized salons request Autocode from Autocode ..

After checking the car according to the state. number you will know exactly what the car is. Based on these facts, you can fairly reduce the purchase price.

Autocode is a site for checking a car by state number, which allows you to find out the real data about the car right at the time of purchase and save yourself from an unwanted transaction.

When purchasing used cars, few people check the engine model. And this is important to do, because in the future there may be problems with repairs - the spare parts that you will buy for the factory engine simply will not fit the motor replaced during operation. Another one possible problem- the vehicle was stolen, and the engine numbers were broken. In this case, there may be discrepancies with the documents. Therefore, before purchasing a used vehicle (TC), it is imperative to find out the engine model by the VIN code.

Ways to determine the model of the engine installed on the machine

There are several ways to find out which engine is on a car:

• Independently during the inspection of the vehicle.
• Expertise in MREO or a specialized car service.
• Online using the VIN code.

The marking is indicated by the manufacturer directly on power unit. The number can be anywhere on the engine, but in most cases it is on the left side or on the top near the windshield.

But not everything is so simple - in most cases it is almost impossible to read the number due to heavy pollution or rust damage. And sometimes even worse - unscrupulous owners deliberately erase the letter designation in order to hide the fact of replacing the factory unit. When inspecting, pay attention to the readability of the numbers. If it is very difficult to see letters and numbers, then this may indicate that the number has been interrupted.
