Decode the VIN of the car Rover 45 for free: the 17 characters reveal the manufacturer, the model year and the country in which the vehicle was made. For the car Rover 45 we list the production years 1999 - 2005, 2 versions in total, the body styles Sedan, Hatchback and a power figure of 150 hp. What a VIN shows: the producer, the model year, the country of manufacture and, when it is coded, the plant. The last six characters are just the serial number.
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. For a used model Rover 45, mismatches matter: a different character in the documents, a model year that does not fit the 10th character, or a VIN with the wrong length all deserve a closer look.
