What is VIN code? 

Every Opel produced has its unique vehicle VIN code.It is a unique 17-digit code made up of numbers and letters. The VIN code is an important source of information about each Opel, as the vehicle is listed under it in all important databases:

• Opel manufacturer databases
• Databases of dealers of new and used Opel cars
• Opel car service databases
• State databases
• Police databases
• Databases of insurance companies
• Databases of private automotive companies

🔢 What does the VIN code contain?

1. The first three characters of the VIN
The first three characters are reserved for the manufacturer code. In the case of Opels, you will most often encounter codes W0L or W0V.

2. The fourth to ninth character of the VIN
The other six characters are the descriptive Opel code, in which general information about the vehicle is encoded - model, body type, engine type, production series, etc.

3. Tenth to seventeenth character of VIN
The last eight characters are the unique Opel production code. The last four characters must always be numbers!

The VIN code of Opel vehicles must never contain the letters Q, I and O, so as not to confuse them with the numbers 9, 1 and 0.

The VIN number of Opel vehicles can be found in the usual places directly on the car or in the related documentation:
