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 contains information such as country of manufacture, year of manufacture, type of drive, engine version, equipment options, among others.

VIN numbers were first used in 1954 in the United States. Already then, car manufacturers such as Mercedes- Benz were marking their cars in this way. Manufacturers in Europe also began to use this type of designation. However, the first numbers looked very different. It was only in the 1980s (1981 to be precise) that the world’s manufacturers, together with manufacturers in the USA, came to an agreement on this matter.

In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the USA standardised the format. Cars sold should contain a 17-character VIN number 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 consists of 17 characters – letters and numbers.
