👉 What is a VIN? 

Every Honda car or motorcycle manufactured has its own unique VIN – a 17-character alphanumeric code. The VIN is a crucial source of information about any Honda, as vehicles are recorded under this code in all important databases:

• Honda manufacturer databases
• Honda dealer databasess
• Honda auto/motorcycle service databases (authorized and unauthorized services)
• Government vehicle registration databases
• Police databases
• Insurance databases
• Private automotive company databases

🔢 What does a Honda VIN include?

1. First three characters of the VIN
These are reserved for the manufacturer code. Honda most commonly uses JHM for vehicles made in Japan, SHH for those made in the UK, and 1HG for vehicles made in the USA.

2. Characters four to nine of the VIN
These contain the descriptive code of the Honda. It holds general information such as model, body type, engine type, production series, etc.

3. Characters ten to seventeen of the VIN
A unique serial number for that specific Honda vehicle. The last four positions must always be digits.

You will never see the letters O, I, or Q in a Honda VIN (or any VIN) as they could be confused with the numbers 0, 1, and 9.

⚠️ Fraud involving used Honda vehicles

Honda is a globally popular brand. The large number of used vehicles also means some have been tampered with by fraudsters. The most common scams include:

• Odometer rollback – common with imports
• Concealing previous damage
• Falsifying the vehicle’s origin – for example, a Honda may be advertised as imported from Germany but actually comes from Eastern or Southern Europe
• Falsifying the year of manufacture – also known as "artificially aging down" the vehicle

Fortunately, fraud can usually be detected in time thanks to an online vehicle check.
