Right now i don't have the 19 digit chassis number. Will be getting it though. But i guess the exact manufacturing date and other details can be decoded from the 17 digit VIN (MALBB51BLDM556476). Can somebody help me?

There are some restricted (paid) data bases from which it can be decoded via 17 digits.
However you can find the 19 digits in the B-pillar or under the driver seat.

Re: Decoding Vehicle Information Number (VIN)

Ford India Month/ Year decoding chart From 2005 - 2012. Please note that the month codes repeats after every 4 years.

Typical FORD Car VIN has 17 Characters starting from MAJ in which 11th and 12th characters represents YEAR and MONTH respectively.

The Build date represents the actual manufacturing date.

e.g: VIN: MAJ1XXMRJ1BC82954 in which 11th and 12th characters are Year and Month, so as per the chart its a 2011, January vehicle which manufactured on 14.12.2010. So in the RC book its will be mentioned as January 2011 manufactured vehicle.
Hi, I'm new to this and I have booked a Ford Figo for which I'm planning to do a PDI tomorrow. I went thru this page and ******* page while I was searching to decode VIN. The details from these two sites doesnt match. In that website, from 2010 the year code starts with A and goes on, which says 'D' as the year code for 2013. I'm now confused. Which one should I follow or which one is right?
