Look on the dashboard, the driver's door frame or in the registration document.
Type all 17 characters. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN.

The Apollo VIN decoder reads the 17-character VIN and shows what the number itself encodes: the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for the brand is small, with one model, the IE, and version data for model years 2017 to 2018. The decoder is free and needs no registration.
It does not show accident damage, mileage, theft records or previous owners, because a VIN does not contain them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report.
Pick a Apollo model to see how its VIN works.
Every VIN has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used. The first three characters are the WMI, the world manufacturer identifier. At the moment we have no WMI codes mapped to Apollo, so we cannot list codes or countries of manufacture for the brand here. Our list is not complete, and that says nothing about any particular VIN.
The tenth character is the model year, and it is the easiest one to check by hand. For the Apollo IE years in our data, an H in position 10 stands for 2017 and a J stands for 2018. Positions 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, position 9 is the check digit, position 11 is the plant and positions 12 to 17 are the serial number. The check digit is required in North America, while many European VINs fill it differently.
Every VIN has six parts. This is what each of them means.
| Part | Characters | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| WMI | 1 to 3 | World manufacturer identifier: who built the vehicle and where |
| VDS | 4 to 8 | Vehicle descriptor: model, body type and engine, as set by the manufacturer |
| Check digit | 9 | Control value that helps confirm the VIN is valid |
| Model year | 10 | Code for the model year |
| Plant | 11 | Code for the assembly plant |
| Serial | 12 to 17 | Production sequence number of this vehicle |
On the driver's side, visible through the windshield.
On a sticker on the door frame or the edge of the door.
Printed in the vehicle registration or title.
Stamped on the firewall or the frame on many models.
A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.
Enter the 17-character VIN and see the factory basics in seconds.
The VIN is normally printed in the registration papers and on the vehicle itself, for example at the base of the windscreen or on a plate at the door frame. The exact spot can vary, so check the papers if you cannot find it on the car.
Characters 1 to 3 are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer. We have no WMI codes mapped to Apollo yet, so we cannot name specific ones. The decoder still reads the rest of the VIN, such as the model year character.
Look at the tenth character. In our data the IE covers model years 2017 to 2018, where H means 2017 and J means 2018.
It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners. A VIN is only an identifier, and none of that is stored in the number.
Compare the VIN on the car with the one in the registration papers, character by character. Then see whether the model year the decoder gives fits the listing, and ask the seller for service records and proof of mileage.
