This page decodes the VIN of an Autobianchi. Enter the 17 characters and the decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture from the VIN itself. It is free and needs no registration.
Our version data for the brand is small: one model, the A 112, built as a Hatchback, with model years from 1969 to 1985 and a highest power of 70 hp. A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report.
Pick a Autobianchi model to see how its VIN works.
A modern VIN has 17 characters and never uses the letters I, O or Q. 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 is the model year, character 11 is the plant and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number.
We have no WMI codes on file for Autobianchi, so there is no list of codes to show here, and we cannot name a country of manufacture for the brand. That only reflects what is in our data. It says nothing about any particular VIN you hold.
The 17-character format applies to cars built since 1981, while our Autobianchi data starts in 1969. The overlap is the early 1980s. In that period the tenth character would be B for 1981, C for 1982, D for 1983, E for 1984 or F for 1985. Older cars may carry a shorter chassis number that a 17-character decoder cannot read.
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 |

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.
Start with the vehicle registration document, then compare it with the number on the car itself. On older cars the position of the plate or stamping can vary, so look at the body and the documents together.
The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer and country. We have no WMI codes mapped to Autobianchi, so we cannot list any here.
Look at the tenth character. Within the range of our Autobianchi data, B means 1981, C 1982, D 1983, E 1984 and F 1985. Cars built before 1981 do not follow the 17-character system.
It reads only the VIN, so it gives the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture. It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft or owners.
Make sure the VIN on the car matches the registration document and that the number is legible and unaltered. Then check the model year and the described body style against the car in front of you.
