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.
