How to check the build date of your vehicle

How to check the build date of your vehicle

 

You can find when you vehicle was actually built from a code in the chassis number, just follow are guide below!

 

Table 1 below shows a breakdown of the chassis number, using this table find the year code from your chassis number.

Table 1

WF05XXGBB53M41005

 

Chassis No * WFO 5 XX G B B 5 3M 41005 *
Key A B C D E F G C H K A

 

The year code is shown in bold above the letter H, so in this example the year code is `3M`

With your year code take the first digit `3` and look across the `Code` line in the table below to find `3` now take the second digit `M` and look down that column until you find it.

So the code `3M` shows the vehicle in this example was built in November 2003!
