Each of us sooner or later faces the stage of buying a car.  Someone decides to buy a car in the salon, and someone will find a good used model.  But how to check the history of the car and whether it was stolen?  This is what we will look into today.

What you need to know about the VIN code?

Every car has a so-called VIN decoder.  This is a special set of numbers that helps you look at the entire history of the car and check if it has been stolen or if there is any serious damage.

VIN-code is simply necessary for the selection of spare parts.  After all, even the same model with the same motor can have different parts.  And if you do not select them according to the wine code, there is a risk that not quite the same or not at all the spare part will “arrive”.

The identification number is located on the non-removable part of the body in places that are least susceptible to destruction during an accident and is duplicated on a plate located in the front of the car.  As a rule, in more modern cars, such a code is placed on the front left pillar of the body or on the dashboard.

What you need to know about the symbols on the VIN code?

Each letter and number is written for a reason.  It contains encrypted information.  There you will be able to determine the country of manufacture, the date of issue and any other technical characteristics.

Therefore, if you are going to buy a car, be sure to check the car by identification number.  You will not only be able to make sure that the car is not stolen, but also check possible accidents.  This is a very handy thing that you really need to use in order not to miscalculate the choice of car.
