What is Seat VIN?

All Seat cars produced have a 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 Seat car, as it is the one under which the vehicle is listed in all important databases:

• Manufacturer databases of Seat
• Databases of dealers of new and used Seat cars
• Databases of Seat repair shops (authorised and unauthorised)
• National registers
• Police databases of stolen vehicles
• Private databases of stolen vehicles
• Database of insurance companies
• Databases of automotive companies

🔢 What does the Seat VIN contain? 

1. The first three characters of the VIN 
The first three characters are the manufacturer's WMI code. Seat uses the WMI code VSS on most of its vehicles.

2. Fourth to ninth character of the VIN 
The next six characters are the Seat descriptive code, which encodes general information about the vehicle, such as model, body type, engine type, production series, etc..

3. Tenth to seventeenth character of the VIN
The last eight characters are Seat's unique production code. The last four characters must always be digits!

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

🔍 Seat VIN location

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

• VIN stamped on the body in the boot or engine compartment
• On the type plate in the front door area
• In the insurance documents

For more information on the location of the VIN, see the separate article Where can I find the VIN code.

⚠️ Used Seats scams

Seat is one of Europe's most popular car brands. It is very popular with drivers in Europe thanks to its quality comparable to Volkswagen but lower prices. Due to the brand's popularity, used Seats are often the target of fraudsters. The most common scams are:

• Odometer rollback - especially for imported vehicles
• Concealed previous damage - often total crashes
• Falsifying the origin or age of a vehicle

Fortunately, fraud can usually be detected in time by checking the vehicle online.
