Start by typing the VIN of your car Dodge Caravan into the box; the decoder reads the code and reports the maker, the model year and the country of origin. We list the model Dodge Caravan over 1984 - 2020 and count 9 versions in total. The decoder reads the world manufacturer identifier in characters 1 to 3, the model year in character 10 and the plant in character 11 where one is coded.
Past damage, odometer values, theft records and the number of owners are not part of a VIN, so no decoder can read them from the code alone. A separate history check is needed for that. Take the VIN from the dashboard or door frame of the model Dodge Caravan and hold it next to the document. Go through it slowly, one character at a time, rather than glancing at the first few.
