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.

For getting the Month and Year code of Maruti car you have to Look Under the Bonnet near to the hinges there will be additional Letter/Number . if you found that for e.g GA then its July 2010 Manufactured Vehicle.

other month are giving below
A= JAN
B= FEB

E= MAY
F= JUNE
G= JULY
H= AUG
J= SEP
K= OCT
L= NOV
M= DEC
