Here are some car features that can be determined by decoding the VIN:
Make and Model: The first three characters of the VIN identify the make and model of the vehicle. For example, a VIN starting with "1G1" would indicate a Chevrolet Camaro.
Year of Manufacture: The fourth digit of the VIN indicates the year of manufacture. For example, a VIN with a fourth digit of "G" would indicate that the vehicle was manufactured in 2017.
Assembly Plant: The fifth and sixth digits of the VIN identify the assembly plant where the vehicle was manufactured. For example, a VIN with the fifth and sixth digits of "02" would indicate that the vehicle was manufactured in the Lansing, Michigan assembly plant.
Engine Type: The eighth character of the VIN indicates the engine type. For example, a VIN with an eighth character of "Z" would indicate that the vehicle is equipped with a V8 engine.
Body Type: The tenth character of the VIN indicates the body type. For example, a VIN with a tenth character of "S" would indicate that the vehicle is a sedan.
Trim Level: The eleventh and twelfth characters of the VIN indicate the trim level of the vehicle. For example, a VIN with the eleventh and twelfth characters of "LT" would indicate that the vehicle is an LT trim level.
Check Digit: The last digit of the VIN is a check digit used to verify the accuracy of the VIN. It is calculated using a mathematical formula based on the other characters in the VIN.
In addition to these features, the VIN can also be used to obtain information about the vehicle's history, including accident records, maintenance history, and any outstanding recalls.
