Enter the 17-character VIN of your Aurus to see the factory basics. Free, with no registration.
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.

Enter a 17-character VIN and the Aurus decoder reads what is built into the number itself: the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for the brand covers two models, Komendant and Senat, with model years from 2018 to 2022 and the body styles SUV and Sedan.
A VIN does not record accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, so the decoder cannot show them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. The decoder itself is free and needs no registration.
Every VIN has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used, so they cannot be mistaken for 1 and 0. The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer and the country. Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, character 9 is a check digit, character 10 gives the model year, character 11 the assembly plant, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number.
At the moment we have no WMI codes mapped to Aurus, so we cannot name a country of manufacture for the brand from the first three characters. Our list of codes is not complete, and that says nothing about any particular VIN. The decoder simply reads what it can recognise.
The model year is the easiest part to check. For the years in our Aurus data, the tenth character is J for 2018, K for 2019, L for 2020, M for 2021 and N for 2022. A VIN with M in that position, for example, points to model year 2021. Position 9 is a mandatory check digit in North America, while many European VINs fill it differently, so do not judge a VIN by that character alone.
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 often visible through the windscreen at the base on the driver's side, and it is normally printed in the registration documents. Compare both, since the number on the car and the number in the papers should be identical.
The first three characters are the WMI, which stands for manufacturer and country. We do not yet have any WMI codes mapped to Aurus, so the decoder may not name the manufacturer from them. The rest of the VIN can still be read as usual.
Look at the tenth character. For the model years in our data, J means 2018, K 2019, L 2020, M 2021 and N 2022. Model year is not always the same as the year of production.
It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft records or the number of owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also cannot tell you the condition of a particular car.
Make sure the VIN on the car matches the one in the documents, and that all 17 characters read cleanly with no letters I, O or Q. Then look into mileage, accident damage and ownership separately, since the VIN does not hold those details.
