The third VIN digit indicates the vehicle type or manufacturing division. The fourth through eighth VIN digit reveals the vehicle features such as body style, engine type, model, series, etc. The ninth VIN digit is a VIN accuracy check digit, verifying the previous VIN numbers. The tenth VIN digit tells the model year. The eleventh VIN digit reveals the assembly plant for the vehicle.
