Nissan is a Japanese car manufacturer that has been producing vehicles since 1933. Over the years, Nissan has become a highly respected brand known for producing reliable, innovative, and stylish cars. Models such as the Nissan Altima, Sentra, Rogue, and Pathfinder have gained popularity in the used car market due to their practicality, fuel efficiency, and comfortable driving experience

One challenge in buying or selling a used Nissan car is the uncertainty surrounding the vehicle’s history which can impact its value and reliability. This can be addressed by decoding Nissan’s vehicle identification number (VIN) to obtain detailed vehicle information crucial for prospective buyers, sellers, and mechanics alike.

VIN decoding is an essential part of VinAudit’s comprehensive vehicle history service.  Not only does our VIN decoder provide basic information about a vehicle, but it can also uncover hidden and potential issues of interest for anyone selling or buying a used Nissan.

Structure of vehicle identification numbers

A VIN is a unique 17-digit identification code assigned to every vehicle. Each character of the VIN carries specific information about the vehicle. The VIN number format for Nissan and other vehicles has been standardized globally, and it follows the following pattern:

• The first three digits represent the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). For Nissan, it is “JN1” or “1N4.”
• The next six digits represent the Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS). It provides information about the vehicle model, engine type, and body style.
• The ninth digit represents the Check Digit, which is used for verifying the validity of the VIN.
• The tenth digit represents the Model Year. For example, “E” refers to the 2014 model year.
• The eleventh digit indicates the manufacturing plant location.
• The last six digits represent the Sequential Production Number (SPN). It shows the order of vehicle production in the manufacturing plant.

By decoding the VIN number of a Nissan vehicle, you can determine the vehicle’s year of manufacture, make, model, engine type, body style, and other crucial details. This information can be helpful for various purposes such as insurance claims, vehicle history reports,  maintenance, buying or selling a Nissan car or Nissan parts.

Where to find the VIN of a Nissan

Look for the VIN in any of these locations:

• On the driver’s side dashboard: The VIN can be found on a metal plate on the dashboard, visible through the windshield.
• On the driver’s side door jamb: Open the driver’s side door and look for a sticker on the door jamb. The VIN may be listed there.
• On the vehicle registration card: The VIN may be listed on the registration card that came with the vehicle.
• On the vehicle title: The VIN should be listed on the title of the vehicle.

A vehicle history report service typically includes two main components:

VIN decoding involves using the vehicle identification number (VIN) to extract important details about the vehicle, such as its make, model, year, and specific trim level. This information is important for accurately tracking and identifying the vehicle in question.

VIN checking involves using the VIN to conduct a comprehensive background check on the vehicle, including vehicle specs, any accident or damage history, odometer readings, and any reported incidents of theft or salvage. This information can help potential buyers make informed decisions about the vehicle’s condition and history before purchasing.

Overall, a vehicle history report service provides valuable information that can help buyers ensure they are getting a good deal and avoid any potential issues with the vehicle down the line.
