How this VIN breaks down

Every 17-character VIN is split into the same six sections by ISO 3779. Here is what each part of 1FMDU34X7PUD75574 means.

D75574
1FM
Positions 1-3
World Manufacturer Identifier
United States

Identifies who built the vehicle and where. The first character is the country or region of assembly, the second the manufacturer, and the third the vehicle type or manufacturing division.

DU34X
Positions 4-8
Vehicle Descriptor Section

The manufacturer's own code for the model, body style, engine, transmission and restraint system. Each carmaker assigns these positions differently, which is why a decoder has to look them up rather than calculate them.

7
Position 9
Check digit
Valid, matches the calculated value 7

A checksum calculated from the other 16 characters. It catches typos and transposed characters. North-American manufacturers are required to use it; many European and Asian makers are not.

P
Position 10
Model year
1993

The model year code. Letters and digits repeat on a 30-year cycle, so the same character stands for two possible years, and the rest of the VIN tells a decoder which one applies.

U
Position 11
Assembly plant

The manufacturer's code for the factory that assembled the vehicle. Codes are specific to each carmaker.

D75574
Positions 12-17
Serial number

The sequential production number. This is what makes the VIN unique to one individual vehicle rather than to a model.

Where this data comes from

Specifications are decoded from the NHTSA vPIC public database, published by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It records what manufacturers submitted for vehicles sold in the United States, which is why coverage thins out for imports and older vehicles. Vehicle history data in our paid report comes from a separate commercial source. See the FAQ.
