They are giving you 5 months old car - does this mean that Nexon sales are low in your area /dealer?
Decoding Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

Sales aren't low by any measure with my dealer. Maybe the variant is in less demand.

Important information for readers of our forum and for the buyers who believe in keeping their car's VIN number private and also for those who know how to decode the VIN.
Most of us here on this forum with help of fellow members get the VIN number decoded for ascertaining the manufacturing month & year of our cars but to be double sure and to have 100% surety, please ask your Sales Advisers to check the 'Sales Certificate' which is issued to the dealer for the sale of your car. In that sales certificate, the precise month & year of manufacturing is mentioned.
Also let me tell you, it is not always that your Service Adviser will be highly informed about the car and such details so if the SA ignores or is unable to provide this detail then straight away contact the top official @ dealer's sales department. He/She would be having this info. This info is highly helpful for those also who don't know about the VIN.
A simple request by the buyer to the SA should be: Confirm me the manufacturing month & year from sales certificate. This practice should be followed as a norm whether you deal with luxury brand or a mass-market brand. Afterall, it is your money which is at stake and every buyer has the right to be absolutely convinced about the details of the vehicle he/she is buying.

Hyundai car VIN will have 19 characters. You have given only 17 characters so It's not Hyundai car.
Honda Cars come with 17 characters and according to the above given 17 characters, the car manufactured in 2020 February. (B - represents the month, i.e. Feb and L represents year, which is 2020)
You may check with other sources also.
