Vehicle History & VIN Lookup

What is Audi VIN?

Each Audi vehicle has a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This 17-digit code of letters and numbers is unique to every Audi car or motorcycle in the world.

Checking your Audi VIN is often the first step when buying a used vehicle. Not only will it give you the characteristics of any machine, but it will also offer valuable insights into the vehicle’s past. Big accidents, law enforcement and insurance events are all things you can learn with an Audi VIN.

What does the Audi VIN contain?

Audi VINs can be divided into three segments, each offering a different type of information about the vehicle. Together, the World Manufacturer Identifier or WMI (digits 1-3), the Vehicle Description Section or VDS (digits 4-9), and the Vehicle Identifier Section or VIS (digits 10-17) will tell you the vehicle’s:

1. Country of origin, manufacturer, and type
2. Important specs, such as the engine or transmission type, body type, etc.
3. Manufacturing plant and serial number

Where to find the Audi VIN?

Your Audi VIN should appear on your vehicle registration and insurance documents, but you can also find it on the car itself. To do so:

1. Walk to the windshield on the driver’s side of your Audi
2. Try to locate a metal plate on the dashboard behind the windshield
3. The Audi VIN looks something like WAUEA88DXTA287834

You may also find it on the frame of the driver’s side door, around the area where the door latches to the car.
