What is a Cenntro VIN decoder?

Enter a 17-character VIN and the HistoVIN decoder reads what is built into it: the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for Cenntro currently covers one model, the Logistar 100, with model year 2022.

A VIN does not record accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report, while the decoder here is free and needs no registration.

What the Cenntro decoder shows

  • The manufacturer and brand (Cenntro)
  • The model year
  • The country of manufacture
  • The assembly plant, when it is coded
  • The vehicle type and body style, where the manufacturer encodes it
  • Engine and model details, where available
  • Whether the VIN structure and check digit are valid

How the VIN of a Cenntro is read

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, which tells you who built the vehicle and in which country. At the moment we have no WMI codes mapped to Cenntro, so we cannot list any here. Our list is not complete, and a VIN that starts with other characters is not a reason for concern.

Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, character 9 is a check digit, and character 10 gives the model year. For a Logistar 100 from the 2022 model year, the tenth character would be N. Character 11 points to the plant, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number. The check digit is required in North America, while many European VINs fill that position differently.

How a VIN is built

Every VIN has six parts. This is what each of them means.

Learn more about VINs

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.

Before you buy a used Cenntro

  • Compare the VIN on the dashboard, the door frame and the documents. All three should match.
  • Look for signs of tampering around the VIN plate and the door frame sticker.
  • Ask for the service history and check it against the car.
  • Run a full history report to see recorded damage, mileage and theft records.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find the VIN of a Cenntro?

Start with the registration document, which prints the full 17 characters. The same number should also appear on a plate or stamping on the vehicle itself, so you can compare the two.

What do the first characters of a Cenntro VIN mean?

The first three characters are the WMI and identify the manufacturer and country. We have no WMI codes mapped to Cenntro yet, so the decoder cannot confirm the brand from those characters alone.

How do I tell the model year of a Logistar 100?

Look at the tenth character of the VIN. Our data lists the Logistar 100 for model year 2022, which corresponds to the letter N in that position.

What can the decoder not show me?

It reads only the VIN itself, so it cannot tell you about accidents, mileage, theft or earlier owners. None of that is stored in the 17 characters.

What should I check before buying a used Cenntro?

Make sure the VIN in the paperwork matches the number on the vehicle, and ask for service records and proof of ownership. Then inspect the vehicle in person, or have someone qualified do it.
