Each car has its own unique VIN number. The Jeep VIN decoder will allow you to check if the current equipment of your car are original components, installed in the vehicle by the manufacturer. Before buying a particular vehicle, it is also a good idea to verify the paint colour. You should also pay attention to the upholstery, windows, trim, window heating or the number of airbags. If any of the equipment does not match, it may mean that the vehicle offered may have been in an accident! It is therefore a good idea to decipher the VIN before buying the vehicle to make sure that you are actually paying for what you are buying. Unfortunately, it may turn out that the new equipment adversely affects the vehicle and frequent visits to the showroom will be necessary. By checking the VIN, we are also able to determine whether the vehicle has accidentally entered the country illegally. This is unfortunately an increasingly frequent problem.

VIN number – what is it?

The VIN, or Vehicle Indentification Number, is a unique vehicle identification number that contains numerous and important pieces of information about a car. The VIN includes information such as country of manufacture, model year, drive type, engine version, equipment options, among others. VIN numbers were first used in 1954 in the United States. At that time, car manufacturers such as Jeep were already marking their cars in this way. Marking of this type began to be used by manufacturers in Europe. However, the first numbers looked very different. It was not until the 1980s (in 1981 to be precise) that the world’s manufacturers, together with the US manufacturers, finally agreed on this issue.

In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the United States standardised the format. Cars sold should contain a 17-character VIN that does not contain the letters I (I), O (o) or P (q) (to avoid confusion with the numbers 1 and 0). A common standard has therefore been developed to facilitate the work of the police, insurance companies and used car dealers. From now on, the VIN of each car has 17 characters – letters and numbers.
