Hello,

I have a confusion about the encoded year and month in a VIN and the actual "manufacturing date" of that vehicle.

In post #115 - http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/f...le-identification-number-vin-9.html#post63898 - Wildon shows an example where the letters that are part of the VIN indicates JAN/2011 but the actual manufacturing date is in DEC/2010.

I am completely lost, can someone tell me which is the one that actually matters [confused]?

This is my first post to the forum, thanks in advance [:D]

yes, october'12

my main worry is model which is a year old now, 5 months does'nt matter much, but if they are giving you a good discount then all seems good.

But I am buying a Verna [surprise]
HI Abhimayo, I guess Verna is known as Accent internationally.

Cheers,

Can someone help me decode the following

MAT6122XXCKN71665

12th letter "N" is creating doubt.

Thanks in advance.
It should be Tata Nano 2012, manufactured in Sanand.

Cheers,
Anshuman

As far as I known, Hyundai VINs does not give month. Please check this wiki link.
Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)/Hyundai/VIN Codes - Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Is the VIN no and Chassis no same ?

Can you please check the tyres of the car and see the manufacture month? It would give an idea of MOM.

Cheers,
