This page decodes the 17-character VIN of a Baltijas Dzips. Our data for the brand is small: one model, BD, with version data for model year 1998 only. The decoder reads the VIN itself and nothing else, and it is free to use without registration.
A VIN does not record accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report, and the VIN is what you would use to look it up.
Pick a Baltijas Dzips 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, which identifies the manufacturer. We do not yet have any WMI codes mapped to Baltijas Dzips, so we cannot list a prefix or a country of manufacture for the brand. A VIN that starts with other characters is not a problem because of that. It only means our list has nothing to match it against.
The tenth character gives the model year, and this works the same way for any make. Our data for the BD covers model year 1998, which is written with the letter W in position 10. The eleventh character normally marks the plant, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number.
Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, and character 9 is a check digit. North America requires the check digit, while many European VINs fill that position differently. For that reason we do not treat a check digit that fails to calculate as a sign of anything wrong.
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.
Look at the vehicle itself and at its registration papers, where the full 17 characters are normally printed. Compare the two, and copy the VIN character by character, since I, O and Q do not occur.
The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer and the country. We have no WMI codes on record for this brand, so we cannot say which prefix to expect. That does not make any particular VIN wrong.
Read the tenth character of the VIN. Our version data for the BD covers model year 1998, which is shown as W in that position.
It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft records or the number of owners, because a VIN does not contain them. We also have no body style or power figures for this brand in our data.
Make sure the VIN on the vehicle matches the one in the registration papers, and look for signs that either has been altered. Ask the seller for service records, and have the car inspected in person, since a VIN alone says little about its condition.
