This page decodes the 17-character VIN of a Haval and shows the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for the brand covers 12 models, among them Big Dog, Cool Dog, Dargo, F5, F7, H1, H2, H4, H6, H9, Jolion and M6, with model years from 2015 to the present.
The decoder reads nothing but the VIN itself, so it cannot tell you about accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report, while the decoder stays free and needs no registration.
The first three characters of a VIN are the World Manufacturer Identifier, or WMI. For Haval we do not yet have any WMI codes mapped, so there is no list of codes or countries to show here. Our list is not complete, and a VIN that begins with other characters is not a cause for concern. Where a code is known to us, the decoder reports the manufacturer and country from it.
The tenth character is the model year, and it is the easiest part to check by eye. Our version data for Haval starts in 2015, which is the letter F, so a VIN with F in tenth position points to model year 2015. A letter S stands for 2025 and T for 2026. Letters repeat only after thirty years, and the letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN.
Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, character 9 is a check digit, character 11 usually marks 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. The 17-character format applies to cars built since 1981, so every Haval, an SUV in all of our data, carries one.
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.

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.

It is usually visible at the base of the windscreen on the driver's side and printed on the registration papers. Many cars also carry it on a plate in the door frame. Copy all 17 characters exactly, since I, O and Q never appear in a VIN.
The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer and the country or region. We have no WMI codes mapped to Haval at the moment, so we cannot list any here. That reflects the limits of our list, not a problem with your VIN.
Look at the tenth character. F means 2015, the earliest year in our Haval data, and later letters follow in order, for example S for 2025 and T for 2026. Models such as the H6, F7 or Jolion fall within this range of years.
It shows the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture, and nothing more. Accidents, mileage, theft and owners are not stored in the VIN. They are held in separate records.
Compare the VIN on the car with the one in the documents, character by character. Then check that the tenth character matches the model year in the advertisement. The 12 models in our data run from the Big Dog to the M6, so also make sure the model name on the papers is the one you were told.
