★ FAQ

Everything you need to know.

The most common questions about VINs, our decoder and how to protect yourself when buying or selling a used vehicle.

What exactly is a VIN?
A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-character code stamped on every motor vehicle at manufacture. It's the vehicle's fingerprint — no two VINs are the same. It encodes the manufacturer, model, engine family, model year, assembly plant and production serial number. In India, it's a legal requirement under the CMVR and is standardised by ISO 3779.
Is your VIN decoder really free?
Yes — 100% free, forever. No signup, no credit card, no hidden fees, no "unlock premium" trickery. Decode unlimited VINs on vindetails.info and all our brand sub-domains.
Which brands are supported?
All major global brands across cars, SUVs, bikes, trucks, buses and EVs. Indian brands include Tata, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Bajaj, Hero, TVS and Royal Enfield. Global brands include Toyota, Honda, Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Ford, Chevrolet, Volkswagen, Nissan, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Isuzu and 30+ more.
What does the 10th character of a VIN tell me?
The 10th character is the model year. L = 2020, M = 2021, N = 2022, P = 2023, R = 2024, S = 2025, T = 2026. Letters I, O, Q and U are never used to avoid confusion with digits 1 and 0.
Can I decode a VIN that belongs to a stolen vehicle?
Our decoder returns manufacturer-level data (model, year, engine, plant). To check if a vehicle is reported stolen in India, cross-check the VIN and registration number on the MoRTH VAHAN portal. We recommend doing both — our decode + a VAHAN check gives you the full picture.
Is it legal to check a VIN?
Yes — checking a VIN is completely legal in every major market including India, USA, UK, EU and Australia. What is illegal is tampering with or altering a VIN, which is a criminal offence under Section 197 of the Motor Vehicles Act (India) and equivalent laws elsewhere.
What if my VIN has 11 or 16 characters?
Pre-1989 vehicles often have shorter chassis numbers. Enter whatever identifier you have — our decoder will still return whatever data is in the global VIN registry. Some older vehicles may have limited data.
Do you store my VIN or personal data?
We do not sell or share your VIN, and we do not link it to you personally. We keep a small recent-VIN log (last 42 VINs) purely to display popular decodes on the homepage. No cookies are used for tracking, no email required, no account created.
Which countries' vehicles can you decode?
Vehicles built in 70+ countries across Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Oceania. This includes India, USA, Japan, Germany, UK, China, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, France, Italy, Spain, Russia and more.
How do I know the decode result is accurate?
We return data directly from the global VIN registry — the same source used by manufacturers, RTOs, DMVs and insurers. Accuracy for vehicles built after 1989 is above 99%. For older vehicles, some fields (like exact engine code) may be blank.
