Enter the 17-character VIN of your Geometry to see the factory basics. Free, with no registration.
Look on the dashboard, the driver's door frame or in the registration document.
Type all 17 characters. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN.

Enter a 17-character VIN and the Geometry decoder reads what is encoded in it: the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data covers five Geometry models, among them A/G6, C/M6, E, EX3 and Panda Mini, with version data for model years 2019 to 2022 and the body styles Sedan, SUV and Hatchback.
A VIN does not record accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, so the decoder cannot show them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. The decoder itself is free and needs no registration.
Pick a Geometry model to see how its VIN works.
Every VIN 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. Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, character 9 is a check digit, character 10 is the model year, character 11 the plant, and characters 12 to 17 the serial number. The check digit is required in North America, while many European VINs fill that position differently.
At the moment we have no WMI codes mapped to Geometry, so we cannot list a prefix or name a country of manufacture for the brand here. Our list is not complete and grows over time, so a VIN that starts with other characters is not a reason for concern.
The model year is the easiest part to check by hand. For the years in our Geometry data the tenth character is K for 2019, L for 2020, M for 2021 and N for 2022. A VIN with an L in that position, for example, points to model year 2020.
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.
The VIN is usually printed on a plate at the base of the windscreen on the driver's side and on a sticker in the door frame. It also appears in the registration documents. Compare these sources, as they should all show the same 17 characters.
The first three characters form the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer. We have no WMI codes mapped to Geometry yet, so the decoder cannot match on them for this brand. Our list is incomplete, so a VIN starting with other characters is not a problem.
Look at the tenth character. Within the model years 2019 to 2022 that we cover, K means 2019, L means 2020, M means 2021 and N means 2022.
It reads only the VIN, so it shows no accident damage, mileage, theft records or number of owners. None of that is stored in the VIN itself.
Make sure the VIN on the car matches the one in the documents and that it has 17 characters without the letters I, O or Q. Then ask the seller for service records, look at the car in person, and find out its mileage and ownership history from a source that actually holds that data.
