What is the Audi VIN?

Every Audi produced has its own unique VIN code, or 17-digit code consisting of numbers and letters. The VIN code is a very important source of information about each vehicle, as the vehicle is listed under it in all important databases:

• Audi manufacturer databases
• Audi dealer databases
• Databasea of Audi dealerships (authorised and unauthorised)
• National vehicle registers
• Police databases of stolen vehicles
• Insurance claims databases
• Auction records databases
• Databases of private automotive companies

🔢 What is hidden in each Audi VIN?

1. First three characters of the VIN
They represent the manufacturer's code - for Audi vehicles this is most often the WAU code.

2. Fourth to ninth character of the VIN
This is the Audi vehicle identification code. General information about the car, such as model, body type, engine type or production series, is encoded in the markings..

3. Tenth to seventeenth character of the VIN
The last 8 characters of the code represent the serial number of the specific Audi vehicle.

The last four characters of each VIN code must always be digits. At the same time, the VIN should never contain the letters O, I or Q, as they could be confused with the numbers 0, 1 or 9.

🔍 Location of the Audi VIN code

The VIN number can be found on Audi vehicles in the usual places - either directly on the vehicle or in the associated documents:

• Stamped on the body in the engine compartment or in the luggage compartment
• On the type plate in the front door area
• In the insurance documents

Examples of VIN locations and other information can be found in the separate article Where do I find the VIN code.

⚠️ Used Audi car scams

Audi is one of the most popular premium cars in the world. What could be wrong with the car?

• The car had a severe (often total) crash
• The car has a falsified odometer (up to hundreds of thousands of km)
• The car has a falsified origin - the seller declares a different country of origin (e.g. Germany) than the one the car actually comes from (Poland)
• The car is stolen

Fortunately, such fraud can be detected early by checking the vehicle's history against its VIN number.
