Enter a 17-character VIN and the Westfield decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture from the code itself. Our data for the brand holds one model, listed simply as Westfield, with version data for model years 1995 to 2001. The body style we have on record is Convertible, and the highest power figure is 200 hp.
A VIN does not carry accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners, so the decoder cannot show them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report, while the decoder itself stays free and needs no registration.
Pick a Westfield model to see how its VIN works.
Every VIN of a car built since 1981 has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used. The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer. We do not currently have any WMI codes mapped to Westfield, so there is no list of codes to show here. A VIN that starts with characters we do not list is not a problem, our list is simply not complete.
Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, and character 9 is a check digit. North American VINs are required to use it, while many European VINs fill that position differently. Character 10 gives the model year and character 11 the plant, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number.
For the Westfield model years we cover, the tenth character runs through a short run of codes: S is 1995, T is 1996, V is 1997, W is 1998, X is 1999, Y is 2000 and 1 is 2001. So a VIN with a V in position 10 points to model year 1997, and one with a 1 points to 2001.
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 |

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.
Look at the vehicle registration or title documents first, then compare that number with the VIN plate or stamping on the vehicle itself. Both should show the same 17 characters.
The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer. We have no WMI codes mapped to Westfield at the moment, so the decoder may not be able to name the brand from them. That says nothing about whether a particular VIN is genuine.
Read the tenth character. Our version data covers 1995 to 2001, which correspond to S, T, V, W, X, Y and 1. For example, an X in position 10 means model year 1999.
It reads only the VIN, so it gives the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture. Accidents, mileage, theft and previous owners are not stored in the VIN.
Make sure the VIN in the paperwork matches the one on the vehicle, and that all 17 characters are readable and unaltered. Then ask the seller for service records and proof of ownership, and look at the car in person, since the VIN alone says nothing about its condition.
