For the car Volkswagen Kaefer we list the production years 1946 - 2000, 2 versions in total, the body styles Convertible and a power figure of 54 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 code only describes how the car was built. Whether it was in a crash, was reported stolen, how far it has driven or how many owners it had is shown in a paid vehicle history report. Take the VIN from the dashboard or door frame of the model Volkswagen Kaefer and hold it next to the document. Go through it slowly, one character at a time, rather than glancing at the first few.
