A Vehicle Identification Number, commonly abbreviated to VIN, is a unique serial number used by the automotive industry to identify individual motor vehicles. Prior to 1980, there was not an accepted standard for these numbers, so different manufacturers used different formats. Modern day VINs consist of 17 characters which do not include the letters I, O or Q. There are vehicle history services in several countries that can help potential car owners use VINs to find lemons and branded vehicles. See the used car article for a list of countries where this service is available. * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number *

To determine the month your 2000 Ford Explorer was made using its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), you can look at the 10th character of the VIN, which indicates the model year. In your VIN, the character 'Y' represents the year 2000. However, the month of manufacture isn't directly indicated in the VIN; you would typically need to check the production date on the vehicle's label or consult Ford's records for that specific VIN.
