Enter a 17-character VIN and the Hennessey decoder reads what is written into the number itself: the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our version data for the brand lists two models, Venom F5 and Venom GT, with model years from 2014 to 2022 and Roadster as the body style.
A VIN does not record accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report, while the decoder on this page stays free and needs no registration.
Every VIN has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used, so they cannot be mistaken for 1 and 0. The first three characters are the WMI, which names the manufacturer and the country. Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, character 9 is the check digit, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number. Position 11 shows the plant.
At the moment we have no WMI codes mapped to Hennessey, so we cannot name a country of manufacture for this brand from the first three characters. Our list is not complete, and a VIN that starts differently from anything we know is still a normal VIN that can be read in the same way.
The model year is the easier part. It sits in position 10. Within the years covered by our Hennessey data, E stands for 2014, F for 2015, G for 2016, H for 2017, J for 2018, K for 2019, L for 2020, M for 2021 and N for 2022. A VIN with N in the tenth position therefore points to model year 2022, the last year in our data for this brand.
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.
Start with the registration or title documents, which print the full 17 characters. On the car, look for a plate or label, often near the base of the windscreen or on a door frame, and compare it with the paperwork.
The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer and the country. We have no WMI codes mapped to Hennessey yet, so the decoder may not name the brand from those characters alone. That says nothing against the VIN.
Look at the tenth character. For the years in our Hennessey data, E means 2014, J means 2018, L means 2020 and N means 2022, with the other letters in between following the same order.
It reads only the VIN, so it cannot tell you about accidents, mileage, theft or how many owners a car has had. None of that is stored in the 17 characters.
Make sure the VIN on the car matches the documents exactly, and that the tenth character fits the model year in the advert. Ask for service records and have the car inspected in person before you agree on a price.
