VIN DECODERIDENTIFY THE YEAR AND MONTH OF
MANUFACTURE
2010 ONWARDS
PREFACE
The year of manufacture recording
in the Registration Certificate has great
importance. In
few cases, the dealers purposefully furnish false model year and month
in Form 21, for registration.
A
few officers became the victims of their tricks
(even
became the accused in a vigilance case).
In this circumstance I tried to collect the data
and make a hand book to identify
the year
and month
of manufacture.
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique identification number for a
vehicle.
In most of the vehicles,
VIN includes the year
and month
codes.
This
book
includes month and year codes for most commonly registered vehicles in Kerala.
In few vehicles,
it punched on the identification plate
only. It
should be
definitely inspected
by the officers,
at
the time of inspection.
One particular vehicle manufacturer has
mostly same year code,
even
though various models.
But it is different for a few models.
If any errors noted, kindly
inform me
for rectification.
I hope it will be helpful to the officers in our department.

Asst. Motor Vehicles Inspector

I express my profound gratitude to my all well wishers for their encouragement.
