It's a hyundai 2013 model. 17 character VIN ?? 19th character will give you the month in case of hyundai's.

Manufacturer: Hyundai

VIN Characters: 19 (beginning with MAL...)

Decode:

10th character represents the YEAR of Manufacture
19th character represents the MONTH of Manufacture


An Example:

If your 10th VIN character is A, then it represents the Year - 2010
If your 19th VIN character is G, then it represents the Month - July

Month Codes:

A = JAN
B = FEB
C = MAR
D = APR
E = MAY
F = JUN
G = JUL
H = AUG
J = SEP
K = OCT
L = NOV
M = DEC

Year Codes:

A = 2010
B = 2011
C = 2012
D = 2013
E = 2014
F = 2015
G = 2016
H = 2017
J = 2018
K = 2019

It is just 17 characters long. I remember seeing my brother's i20s VIn. That was 17 characters too. Checked with the dealer too.

Ok.so may be this is the case.

Along with the 17 digits you can find one more additional digit/letter which represents month. Normally its displayed like this

MALBB51BLDM568572 *A (The letter in bold represent the Month. Here Jan)

* - Separator

Production Month
A- January
B- February
C- March
D - April
E- May
F- June
G - July
H - August
J - September
K - October
L - November
M - December

Thanks mate. This one is for a friend of mine. Will ask him to check again.

Is it possible to tell the date by looking at the VIN? I have booked an Ecosport and the VIN is DB15483

Only the month and year of manufacture will be shown as far as I know.

Can someone tell me what is the year code of 2013 for fiat cars?

 

[vikyjoshi]

Kindly decode number of my ertiga.
R3RDCL100Z2S2003552209534

Hi JoshiKS7, the VIN no. for Ertiga doesnt seem tobe correct one. I guess the VIN should start from MA***** to ME*** the one that you have given starts with R3*** I dont think that is correct.
