How it works

Each car producer is obligated to give each car it produces a unique number. To avoid collisions these numbers are divided into prefix groups. By knowing these prefix groups, also known as World Manufacturer Identification, we can determine who produced the car.

Vehicle Identification Numbers also contain sections related to year of production.

The production year is contained inside the number space prefixed with WMI, but various other rules may exist. Most of these rules are specific to each producer. These rules abbreviate information, like production plants, trim levels, driveline, engine, and transmission types, all into VIN characters.

For 20 years ESP Data Solutions Inc. has gathered data and continues to build databases of vehicle intelligence knowledge.
