Manufacturer, model year, country: enter the VIN of the model Ford Taunus and the free decoder reads all three from the 17 characters. The car Ford Taunus is listed for 1970 - 1982. Our data shows the body styles Sedan, Coupe, Wagon, a power value of 107 hp and 7 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.
The VIN identifies the car but does not describe its life. Records of accidents, mileage, theft or owners have to be looked up separately from the decoding. Take the VIN from the dashboard or door frame of the model Ford Taunus and hold it next to the document. Go through it slowly, one character at a time, rather than glancing at the first few.
