Búsqueda por VIN de Alfa Romeo

Is the car you’re looking at genuine? It’s not uncommon for unscrupulous buyers to put different badges and decals on a car to make it look like a higher trim model. Add a couple factory options to the interior, and it’s easy to get buyers to overlook what’s under the body. The vehicle identification number is hard to alter, making it easy to compare the factory information it contains to the car being sold. This way, you can avoid vehicles that have been tampered with. Of course, sometimes there’s just a mistake in their listing. By checking the VIN, you can verify the seller’s information is correct. When you use our decoder, you can filter out faulty listings, simplifying the search for your next car.

¿Dónde buscar el VIN?

The VIN is required to identify the vehicle on paperwork, so it’s put in places that are hard to damage or replace. On some tags and stamps, Alfa Romeo adds stars to this number. Since stars have lines in every direction, it’s hard to file away or otherwise tamper with this character. When you’re writing down the VIN to decode it on our site, these stars should be left out. Here are the places where you’re most likely to find the VIN on an Alfa Romeo.

There are two places you can find the VIN in the cabin:

• Look through the bottom driver’s side corner of the windshield. You should see a VIN plate attached to the dash board.
• Look at the passenger’s side foot well next to the door sill. The VIN may be visible, or it may be hidden under a small flap of carpet.
• Open the driver’s door and look at the B pillar. There should be a sticker or plate near the door latch with a long list of vehicle information, including the VIN.

There are a few places under the hood where you’ll find the VIN number:

• Look for a plate riveted to the driver’s side of the radiator support.
• Check the passenger’s side strut tower. The VIN is usually stamped on top of the tower. On some vehicles, the number is split between two stamps.
• Look for a metal plate riveted to the firewall on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.

Like any vehicle, the VIN is used to identify cars on official documents. You can find the VIN on the title, as well as car insurance policies, window stickers and some auto repair receipts.

What can you learn when you decode the VIN? Here’s what information each character stands for, and the meanings of the most common characters.

The next 6 characters identify the type of vehicle. The fourth character is the safety restraint equipment:

The fifth character is the model generation. This uses letters, so “A” is the first generation, “B” is the second generation, and so on.

The sixth character is the body style:

The seventh character on recent models is the engine. Here are some examples of common American-market engines:

Older models use this character for both the engine and the equipment level.

The eighth character is the model and trim level. There are a huge number of possible characters, which change from year to year to cover all of Alfa Romeo’s models. If you want to decode this character, you should look up the VIN number on our website.

The ninth character is generated by a mathematical formula. It helps with error correction when entering the VIN into databases and official records.

The tenth character is the year. There are 30 possible numbers and letters used for this character. 2022 models use the letter “N”.

The last characters in the VIN are the serial number. Two cars can have the same serial number. Only the full VIN is unique to each vehicle.
