  • To know the manufacture month you would have to look at the chassis number which, eg :for i10, is located at the bottom of the driver seat, near the handle which you use to push the seat back.
  • Chassis number is the same as the VIN Number followed by a * and a letter. This letter is the month of manufacture.
  • If this letter = A then the manufacture month is Jan, if letter = B then the manufacture month is Feb. Similarly C = Mar, D = Apr, E = May, F = June, G = July, H = Aug, J = Sep, K = Oct, L = Nov, M = Dec.
    Pls note that ' I ' is not used.

Now a days skoda is also pasting a sticker on left fender of vehicle, which has month and year of mfg.

Kia vehicles normally have 19 characters VIN

10th character represent - model year and 19th character for month of built.

From above given VIN it is a 2024-year model, but month is not available
