VIN platform intelligence

Decode the VIN. Inspect the evidence.

This truck and trailer VIN decoder validates all 17 positions, preserves model-year ambiguity, and resolves a vehicle platform only when VIN-prefix evidence clears the published support and purity floor.

Exactly 17 characters. Letters I, O, and Q are not permitted.

Evidence and legal guardrail

Decoded platform claims are inferences, and every published claim retains its source and confidence. Derived from manufacturer coding tables and our own decoded corpus; not an official government decode.

“Not established” means the available evidence did not establish the field. It never means the vehicle has no such attribute or that no data exists elsewhere.

Deterministic structure

These fields come directly from VIN positions and the published checksum calculation, with zero store IO.

World manufacturer identifier
1TK

Deterministic · VIN positions 1–3.

Vehicle descriptor section
B0482

Deterministic · VIN positions 4–8.

Check digit
0 · valid

Deterministic · position 9; calculated value 0.

Model year candidates
1993 or 2023

Position 10 repeats every 30 years; both candidates are retained and neither is silently selected.

North American serial sequence
032870

Deterministic · positions 12–17 for a North American WMI.

Sourced platform inference

The prefix store publishes only at support ≥ 3 and purity ≥ 90%. Prefix confidence is shown beside every established platform claim.
