                          What is a VIN?

                          Every vehicle in the US is stamped with a unique number that can be used to identify it. This number is called a ‘vehicle identification number’ — or ‘VIN’, for short. Think of the VIN as the vehicle’s fingerprint.

                          Because the VIN uniquely identifies the vehicle, it’s used as the core identifier on all official documentation relating to that vehicle (e.g. registration papers, accident reports, insurance claims, etc.).

                          On all vehicles since 1981, the VIN is a 17 digit number. On older vehicles, it may be anywhere from 11 to 17 characters.

                          Where can I find a vehicle’s VIN?

                          These days, most manufacturers place the VIN on the lower-right corner of the dashboard (if you’re looking at the front of the car from the outside), just to the front of the steering wheel. They place it here so you can easily read it from outside the vehicle, just by looking through the windshield on the driver’s side.

                          Vehicles of all kinds are assigned a VIN, whether it”s a car, truck, motorcycle or even a boat.

                          What is a VIN Decoder?

                          A VIN Decoder is a VIN search tool that provides information about a car or other vehicle. Who owns it? Has it been in an accident? Is it stolen? Has it been recalled? How many owners has it had? How much has it sold for in the past? Does it have finance owing? A good VIN Decoder tool can provide all of this information.

                          Most VIN number lookups are web based (i.e. appear on a website) but some VIN checks have their own mobile phone apps.

                          When would I use a VIN Decoder?

                          You would typically use a VIN Decoder tool when you’re shopping for a used car or other vehicle. When you think you’ve found the right vehicle, you’d perform a VIN search to make sure the vehicle doesn’t have any known problems.

                          The VIN Decoder may provide you all the answers you’re after, and many more.

                          And yes, a good VIN check will also function as a motorcycle VIN check. They’re not just for car reports.

                          How to use a VlN Decoder?

                          Step 1: Look for the VIN

                          Find the VIN number on your vehicle.

                          Step 2: Start the VIN search

                          Enter the VIN into the search box. Hit “Decode VIN” and wait for the system to find the VIN in the data sources.

                          Step 3: Receive Vehicle Report

                          Receive your Vehicle Report immediately.

                          A typical VIN search has a field where you can type the vehicle’s VIN, and a button you click to start the search.

                          When you click the search button to search for a VIN number, the VIN check tool will search through billions of records across a range of public records databases, then if it finds a relevant record, present you with a page of information about that vehicle.

                          Depending on the tool you used, the car history report might include everything from photos and market value to owner details and accident history.

                          The VIN decoder relies on publicly available datasets and does not guarantee the accuracy of the information provided. Always confirm vehicle details independently before making any decisions.
