Worldwide VIN decoding · EU · UK · Japan · US · free

One VIN. The whole story.

Works for European, UK, Japanese and US vehicles. Enter a 17-character VIN — or a Japanese chassis number like JZX100-0012345 — and we decode the build, origin market, recalls, crash-test ratings and real owner crash reports.

Try a sample:

Full build sheet

Engine, drivetrain, plant, trim and factory safety equipment decoded from the VIN.

Recalls & defects

Every manufacturer recall campaign with the risk and the free dealer remedy.

Crash record

Crash-test star ratings plus real crash, fire and injury reports filed by owners.

EU, UK & Japan

Real European recall campaigns from the EU type-approval register, plus origin decoding for every market and direct DVSA/MLIT lookups.

JDM chassis numbers

Japanese imports without a 17-digit VIN are matched by chassis code (JZX100, BNR34, CT9A and more).
