Enter a 17-character VIN and the decoder reads what is written into the code itself: the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for Roewe covers 10 models, among them the 360, 950, i5, i6, iMAX8, Marvel X, RX3, RX5, RX8 and RX9, in Sedan, Wagon and SUV body styles. The version data runs from model year 2014 to the present, since some models are still built.
A VIN does not record accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report, while the decoder here 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, the world manufacturer identifier, which tells you who built the car and in which country. Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, character 9 is a check digit, character 10 is the model year, character 11 is the plant, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number.
We do not currently have any WMI codes mapped to Roewe, so we cannot list a prefix to look for or name a country of manufacture here. Our list is not complete, and a VIN that starts with other characters is not a problem in itself. Only the codes we recognise are shown on this page, and at the moment there are none.
The model year is the easiest part to check. Our Roewe data starts at 2014, which is the letter E in position 10. After that the sequence is F for 2015, G for 2016, H for 2017, J for 2018, K for 2019, L for 2020, M for 2021, N for 2022, P for 2023, R for 2024, S for 2025 and T for 2026. The letters repeat every 30 years, so E also stood for 1984, but for the models in our data the later year is the one that applies.
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.
The VIN is usually printed on a plate at the base of the windscreen on the driver's side and on a label in the door frame. It also appears on the registration papers. Compare the number on the car with the one in the documents.
The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer and the country. We have no WMI codes mapped to Roewe at the moment, so we cannot name a prefix for the brand. That says nothing about whether a particular VIN is correct.
Look at the 10th character. For example, J means 2018, M means 2021 and P means 2023. Our Roewe version data starts at model year 2014, which is the letter E.
It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft records or the number of previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not tell you the condition of a particular car.
Make sure the VIN on the car matches the one in the registration papers, and that the model year character agrees with what the seller says. Then look at the service records and ask the seller about past ownership. Decode the VIN here first, so you know the basics before you go and see the car.
