What the VIN says
Identity · what the VIN itself says
Vehicle identification number: WVWZZZ16ZGM617828
From the seller’s listing
Positions 1–3 — the world-manufacturer code.
In our data, VINs starting WVW belong to Volkswagen.
Agrees with the listing.
Positions 4–8 — the descriptor. Here the maker encodes what the car is: the model, body and equipment.
In our data, VINs starting WVWZZZ16 usually read as Volkswagen Jetta.
The seller’s listing says Volkswagen Beetle; the VIN reads Volkswagen Jetta. Both stay on file exactly as they came — we settle neither.
Position 9 — the check digit.
Shown exactly as the listing published it — we do not verify the check digit.
Position 10 — the model-year code.
Code G reads 2016. Model-year codes repeat every 30 years, so the reading nearest the listing’s own year is the one shown.
Agrees with the listing.
Position 11 — the assembly-plant code.
Plant codes are each maker’s own. We hold no list of them, so this character is shown, not decoded.
Positions 12–17 — the serial number.
Nothing is decoded from it. It is what makes this VIN one car rather than a model.
What the VIN encodes — New Zeta · 6th Generation · Diesel · 2011–2016
