Enter the 17-character VIN of the car Moskvich 401 into the free decoder and it tells you the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. For the car Moskvich 401 we list the production years 1954 - 1956, 1 versions in total, the body styles Sedan and a power figure of 26 hp. The decoder reads the world manufacturer identifier in characters 1 to 3, the model year in character 10 and the plant in character 11 where one is coded.
The VIN identifies the car but does not describe its life. Records of accidents, mileage, theft or owners have to be looked up separately from the decoding. Take the VIN from the dashboard or door frame of the model Moskvich 401 and hold it next to the document. Go through it slowly, one character at a time, rather than glancing at the first few.
