Understanding European VINs
Most European vehicles follow the ISO 3779 standard for their 17-character VIN structure. This standardized format ensures that every vehicle can be uniquely identified:
- World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI): The first three characters identify the manufacturer and the country of origin (e.g., codes starting with S-Z represent European manufacturers).
- Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS): Digits 4–9 provide data on the vehicle’s specific series, body style, and engine type.
- Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS): The final digits include the production year and the unique serial number assigned by the factory
