Best Answer

A VIN or Vehicle Identifiaction number is different for every single car. The first 3 letters are the manufacturers world code. For Instance, Skoda is TMB and Land Rover SAL. Also, the last 6 digits are unique to the car that it is on and no other model and variation will have that combination of the last 6 digits. The other digits (numbers and letters) are different from car maker to car maker. They will consist of model (Mondeo, Vectra, A6); Variation (Mondeo Ghia, Vectra SRi, A6 Quattro); engine size and fuel.

You could go to the website called "decodethis.com" which offers a one stop shop for all vehicle vin numbers. Your vin number contains a lot of information about your car like the year, model, number of doors, engine size and type etc.
