Enter a Luxgen VIN and the decoder reads its 17 characters to show the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data lists seven Luxgen models, among them the M7, S3, S5, U5, U6, U7 and V7, in sedan and SUV body styles, with a highest power figure of 225 hp.
The decoder is free and needs no registration, but it only reads the VIN itself. A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report.
A 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 World Manufacturer Identifier, or WMI, which tells you who built the car and where. At the moment we have no WMI codes mapped to Luxgen, so there are no codes or countries to list on this page. That is a limit of our list, and it says nothing about any particular VIN.
The next characters follow the same layout for every make. Positions 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 gives the model year, position 11 the plant, and positions 12 to 17 are the serial number. The check digit is required in North America, while many European VINs fill that position differently.
The model year character is the easiest part to check by hand. A tenth character of E means 2014 and J means 2018, for example. Our version data for Luxgen covers model years from 1970 to the present, and some models are still being built. The 17-character format itself applies to cars built since 1981.
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 |

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.
It is usually printed on a plate at the base of the windscreen and on a sticker in a door frame. It also appears in the registration papers. Compare the car with the papers before you type the number in.
The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer and the country. We do not have any WMI codes mapped to Luxgen yet, so we cannot list them here. The remaining characters are still read in the usual way.
Look at the tenth character. A letter or digit stands for a year, so J is 2018 and E is 2014. The decoder shows this year for you.
It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft records or past owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It reads only the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture.
Make sure the VIN on the car matches the one in the documents, and that the tenth character fits the age the seller gives. Ask to see service records, and have the car inspected. A history check on the VIN covers what the decoder cannot.
