What is a VIN Number?

A unique code known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is assigned to every motor vehicle when it is manufactured. This 17-character string, excluding Q, I, and O to avoid confusion with 0 and 1, provides information about the vehicle's manufacturer, model, year, and production location without any spaces. Using Driving-tests.org is the easiest way to use a VIN decoder, it pulls straight from government data, and it's free to use.

How many characters:
17 (digits and capital letters)
Where to find:
Dashboard on the driver's side
First digit stands for:
Country of manufacturer

How to Find It

Finding your Isuzu's VIN is straightforward. Here’s where to look:

  • Passenger Cars: Check the front of the dashboard on the driver's side. View it from outside the vehicle through the windshield. Also, inspect the driver's side door pillar—open the door to find the VIN where the door latches.
  • SUVs: Look in similar locations as passenger cars, focusing on the driver's side door pillar and the front of the dashboard.

If you're unable to locate the VIN on your Isuzu, it can also be found on:

  • Your vehicle's title documents.
  • Liability insurance documents.

How to Check a Specific Number

Enter your Isuzu's 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the field above to look up and receive an instant report on its manufacturer, brand, make and model, body style, engine size, assembly plant, and model year. The information is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) from the data submitted by the manufacturers to NHTSA. The VIN Decoder lookup is intended for use with Isuzu vehicles manufactured since 1981. Whether you own an Isuzu Trooper, an NPR, or any other Isuzu model, this tool is the best way to get a detailed build sheet or chart specific to your vehicle. If your Isuzu was made before 1981, the VIN may be a shorter sequence of characters.
