The LTI VIN decoder reads the 17 characters of a VIN and shows the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for the brand covers one model, the TX, with model years from 1998 to 2006 and the body styles Wagon and Sedan.
A VIN does not hold accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, which come from a paid vehicle history report. The decoder itself is free and needs no registration.
Pick a LTI model to see how its VIN works.
Every VIN of a car 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. We do not know of any WMI codes that map to LTI at the moment, so we cannot list codes or name a country of manufacture for the brand here.
Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle. Character 9 is the check digit, which is required in North America, while many European VINs fill it differently. Character 10 gives the model year, character 11 the plant, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number.
Our version data for LTI runs from 1998 to 2006. In position 10 those years appear as W for 1998, X for 1999, Y for 2000, then the digits 1 to 6 for 2001 to 2006. A VIN with a 6 in that position, for example, points to model year 2006.
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.

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.
Check the vehicle registration document first, since the VIN is normally printed there. On the car itself it is usually stamped or fixed in a visible place such as the dashboard near the windscreen or the door pillar.
The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer. We have no WMI codes mapped to LTI at the moment, so we have none to list, and that says nothing about any particular VIN.
Look at the tenth character of the VIN. For the years in our LTI data, 1998 to 2006, it is W, X, Y or one of the digits 1 to 6.
It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft or how many owners the car has had, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It only reads the characters of the number itself.
Make sure the VIN on the car matches the one in the registration papers, and look at the service records if the seller has them. Then inspect the body and test drive the car, whether it is a Wagon or a Sedan.
