How To Find Volkswagen Vehicle Manufacturing Date With VIN Number?

How To Read VIN Number Of Volkswagen Vehicles?

A VIN number consists of multiple characters and digits and it could span up to 22 characters. However, the number of characters and digits varies from one carmaker to the next, but there are essentially 2 characters that are required to know the manufacturing date of any vehicle. In the case of Volkswagen cars and SUVs, their VIN number generally consists of 17 characters.

In Volkswagen vehicles, the VIN characters begin with either MEX or MEB. Let us take the VIN MEXC24L24NM098765 as an example. Here, MEX identifies a Volkswagen car manufactured in India. C denotes the model and body style (can vary depending on the model). The number 24 represents engine details, trim level, or other specific features, with 24 potentially indicating a higher trim level or specific engine option. The 4th character L indicates the month of manufacture (L for November, see table below specific codes). 24 represents the year of manufacture within the current decade (here, 24 would indicate 2024). NM098765: The remaining digits are a unique serial number for the specific vehicle. Thus, the Volkswagen car with the VIN MEXC24L24NM098765 was manufactured in January, 2024.
