A fairly common way of marking both the vehicle itself and the main units (considered optional) is to use an individual VIN code. It includes a certain set of digits in the Latin format and carries a fairly large amount of encoded information:
- Manufacturer, year of manufacture and distributor who sold the machine.
- Mileage data for the last service.
- Information about the repairs carried out during the warranty service.
Internet service for checking cars by VIN-code https://vin.report/ is available to any user in a commercial format (requests are paid according to those set on resource rules) and provides all the available information that comes when decoding an individual code.
When you may need to decrypt the VIN-code
A fairly common option when the information contained in the VIN code of a particular car is required - a used freight vehicle or special equipment purchased by domestic users abroad. For maintenance that requires replacement of an exhausted unit, for example, a gearbox, the VIN code will allow:
- Precisely identify the modification of the vehicle (a postal truck for the fast transport of light loads or a mining tractor adapted for off-road conditions).
- Find out the serial designation (marking) of the required new unit or unit, taking into account the modification information.
- Study information about the types of repairs already performed by the previous owner of the car.
All this allows for the optimal and correct maintenance even without contacting a distributor service center. You can get acquainted in more detail with the possibility of ordering a service check by VIN-code using the website of a company that provides this type of service on a commercial basis. The user receives information immediately after filling out an online application (VIN code must be indicated) and paying for the service using one of the proposed methods (bank card, current account or electronic wallet).
