How is a VIN structured?
The alphanumeric sequence is divided into three main sections that act as the vehicle's unique fingerprint:
| Section | Positions | Reveals |
|---|---|---|
| WMI | 1 - 3 | World Manufacturer Identifier (Origin & Brand) |
| VDS | 4 - 9 | Vehicle Descriptor (Model, Engine, Security Digit) |
| VIS | 10 - 17 | Identifier Section (Year, Plant, Serial Number) |
Case Study: Detection of Tampering
In a recent 24 hours audit, a buyer reviewed report photos pulled from service records. The physical VIN plates didn’t match: inconsistent font weights and a single character discrepancy suggested a "VIN Clone." By identifying this through VIINA Vault, the buyer avoided a total loss investment.
