Production years of the car ZAZ 965 in our data: 1960 - 1969. Body styles: Hatchback. Power: 27 hp. Versions in our data: 1. 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. A quick test for the model ZAZ 965: the 10th character encodes the model year, so it should fit the year the seller states. Also remember that I, O and Q never occur in a genuine VIN.
