This free decoder reads the 17 characters of a Blonell VIN and shows what is encoded in them: the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for the brand is small. It holds one model, the TF 2000 MK1, with version data for model years 1999 to 2006 and the Convertible body style.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report, while the decoder itself stays free and needs no registration.
Pick a Blonell model to see how its VIN works.
Every VIN for a car built since 1981 has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used. 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.
At the moment we have no WMI codes mapped to Blonell, so we cannot list the codes or countries we recognise for the brand. Our list is not complete, and a VIN that the decoder cannot link to the brand by its first three characters is not a sign of a problem. The check digit is also handled differently by region. It is required in North America, while many European VINs fill that position in another way.
The model year is the part you can read yourself. For the years in our data, character 10 is X for 1999, Y for 2000, 1 for 2001, 2 for 2002, 3 for 2003, 4 for 2004, 5 for 2005 and 6 for 2006. A Blonell VIN with a 1 in tenth position would therefore point to model year 2001.
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 on the vehicle registration document first, then on the car itself, where the VIN is usually shown on a plate or stamping such as at the base of the windscreen or on the door pillar. Compare the two and make sure they match before you decode it.
The first three characters are the WMI, which stands for the manufacturer and the country. We have no WMI codes mapped to Blonell yet, so the decoder may not name the brand from those characters alone.
Read the tenth character of the VIN. For the model years in our data, X means 1999, Y means 2000, and the digits 1 to 6 mean 2001 to 2006.
It reads only the VIN, so it shows manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture where the data allows. Accidents, mileage, theft and owners are not stored in the VIN at all.
Make sure the VIN on the car matches the one in the registration papers, and that the model year you decode fits the age the seller gives. Since our data lists the TF 2000 MK1 as a Convertible, check that the car in front of you fits the description in the advert, and look at it in person.
