What is a Renault VIN?

All Renault cars produced have their own unique VIN code, which is a 17-digit code made up of numbers and letters. The VIN code is an important source of information about every Renault car, because it is under it that the vehicle is listed in all important databases:

• Renault manufacturer databases
• Databases of dealers of new and used Renault cars
• Databases of Renault car workshops (authorized and unauthorized)
• National registers
• Police databases
• Databases of insurance companies
• Databases of private auto-moto companies

🔢 What does a Renault VIN contain?

1. The first three characters of the VIN
​The first three characters are the manufacturer's WMI code. Renault uses the VF1 code for most WMI vehicles.

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

3. The tenth to seventeenth character of the VINThe last eight characters are the Renault's unique production code. The last four characters must always be numbers!

The VIN of a Renault vehicle must never contain the letters Q, I and O to avoid confusion with the numbers 9, 1 and 0.
