Each Dacia car has a unique identification code called VIN. This number contains important information about the car, such as equipment, model year, engine type and version. If you want to buy a car from the aftermarket, decoding the VIN with the Dacia can be a good way to check that the car has not previously been in an accident, stolen or illegally modified. So where do you find the VIN in the Dacia and how do you decode it? We suggest the following.

Dacia – VIN decoding

The VIN decoding in a Dacia car provides detailed information about the car, as each VIN contains many important, individual vehicle data. In addition to general Dacia specifications such as model year, equipment and country of manufacture, the VIN decoder provides key information that can be particularly helpful in verifying the vehicle before purchase. Especially if the Dacia has been imported into the country. By decoding the VIN you can check what equipment the original Dacia has, the colour of the paint, the type of upholstery and the number of airbags. Any discrepancies may suggest that the vehicle may have been in an accident or modified in the past contrary to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Dacia – where to find VIN?

Finding a VIN number in a Dacia car is not always easy. Especially since manufacturers do not always place the code in the usual places, and this depends not only on the model, but also on the yearbook. So where to find the VIN in Dacii Duster? The 2010-2013 yearbook had the VIN number on the fixed element on the right-hand side reinforcement near the right-hand damper seat, the VIN number plate is also on the right-hand centre post, similarly to the Dacia Duster produced from 2013 to 2014, while the Duster from 2013 to 2016 has the VIN number on the fixed element on the right-hand centre post and on the right-hand front bulkhead.

It is worth remembering that the most certain is the body number, which is stamped on the fixed part and not the one glued on. And any tampering with the VIN number may suggest that there may be a problem with the vehicle.

 Dacia – checking the VIN

As we have already mentioned, the VIN code contains a lot of important data about the car. That’s why deciphering the identification number in Dacii allows you to see important details about the car. The vehicle history report may contain information about the meter status, possible thefts, repairs or equipment. These aspects play a significant role when buying a car, especially if the Dacia was imported from abroad. So how do you check the VIN number in Dacia? Simply fill in the form below and use the free or paid version of the report on a specific Dacia vehicle. It is also worth remembering that the cost of a full vehicle history report is small compared to the price we can pay for a car that may have been previously damaged or stolen.
