Vehicle identification number: WVWZZZAUZDW169848
From the seller’s listing

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 WVWZZZAU read as Volkswagen Golf.
The seller’s listing says Volkswagen Sorento; the VIN reads Volkswagen Golf. 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 D reads 2013. Model-year codes repeat every 30 years, so the reading nearest the listing’s own year is the one shown.
The seller’s listing says 2016; the VIN reads 2013. Both stay on file exactly as they came — we settle neither.
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 — Golf 7th Generation · 2013–2017
