Free tool · Audi VINs

Audi VIN decoder.

Decode any Audi VIN with NHTSA's own data: year, model, trim, engine, plant and whether the check digit adds up. Paste a whole list if you have one.

One VIN

Enter a VIN to decode it.

A blank field means NHTSA has no data for it, not that the vehicle lacks it.

A whole list

Paste up to 50 VINs, one per line (commas or tabs work too, so a column copied from a spreadsheet is fine).

How to tell a Audi VIN

The first three characters of a VIN are the world manufacturer identifier (WMI): they name the company that built the vehicle. Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, the 9th is the check digit, the 10th is the model year, the 11th is the plant, and the last six are the serial number.

VINs starting with these codes were registered with NHTSA by Audi's manufacturing companies.

Six-character codes belong to smaller manufacturers: they share a three-character code ending in 9 and add three more characters in positions 12 to 14.
