VIN lookup

Look up any truck or trailer VIN.

Carrier history, roadside inspections, and an evidence-based platform decode — from the federal record and manufacturer VIN tables.

Exactly 17 characters. Letters I, O, and Q are not permitted.

Evidence and legal guardrail

Decoded platform claims are inferences, and every published claim retains its source and confidence. Derived from manufacturer coding tables and our own decoded corpus; not an official government decode.

“Not established” means the available evidence did not establish the field. It never means the vehicle has no such attribute or that no data exists elsewhere.

Decode evidence & sources

Deterministic structure

These fields come directly from VIN positions and the published checksum calculation, with zero store IO.

World manufacturer identifier
1FD

Deterministic · VIN positions 1–3.

Vehicle descriptor section
YU90X

Deterministic · VIN positions 4–8.

Check digit
9 · valid

Deterministic · position 9; calculated value 9.

Model year candidates
1997 or 2027

Position 10 repeats every 30 years; both candidates are retained and neither is silently selected.

North American serial sequence
A18057

Deterministic · positions 12–17 for a North American WMI.

Sourced platform inference

The prefix store publishes only at support ≥ 3 and purity ≥ 90%. Prefix confidence is shown beside every established platform claim.
