The Mazda vehicle body number is an individual code that is used to identify your vehicle. The VIN also contains technical data on the manufacturer, model year and original equipment. The Mazda VIN can be checked for any important events affecting your Mazda, such as the number of previous owners, mileage or accident history. However, to decode a VIN, we must first locate it. So where can I find my Mazda VIN and how can I decode it? We will tell you in the article.

VIN Mazda decoding

The Mazda body number encoding on your Mazda car allows you, among other things, to verify that your current equipment is original. We can check the parameters of your Mazda such as paint colour, place of manufacture and number of airbags. But what interests those who want to buy a Mazda from the aftermarket the most is whether the car is from a theft, has undergone service repairs or has been involved in any accidents in the past. The VIN is a form below to find out, among other things, whether the Mazda you want to buy is not listed in the dozen or so stolen vehicle databases available.

Mazda – where to find the VIN number?

Experience shows that finding body numbers can be time consuming. All the more so as, depending on the model and year of Mazda, the numbers can be stamped in very different places. If you’re wondering where the VIN is in your Mazda 3, the manufacturer of the 2003-2009 models placed the VIN number on a fixed part of the front panel. The Mazda 3, on the other hand, was produced a little later, because between 2013 and 2014, the VIN number on the fixed part has the VIN on the floor in front of the passenger seat and the plate on the centre post on the right. Mazda 5 from 2005 to 2010 has the VIN number on the fixed component on the front panel, the same as in 2010/2015. The popular Mazda 6 has the VIN number on the fixed component on the front panel on the right and the VIN plate on the centre pillar on the right. In the 2008-2010 Mazda 6, the VIN number on the fixed component is on the floor in front of the passenger seat, and the 2012-2015 car also has a VIN plate on the centre pillar on the right. This is not the case with the Mazda MPV, which between 2002 and 2005 had the VIN number on the fixed component in the middle of the front bulkhead.
