¿Qué es el VIN de un Subaru?

Subaru debuted in North America with the 360, a tiny car that even their marketing team called “cheap and ugly”. Fortunately, they carved out a niche using the four-wheel drive system they developed for mail delivery trucks in their consumer vehicles. By the late 1970s, Subaru's AWD cars were common in snowy areas. This same system made them a significant force in the World Rally Championship through the 90s and 2000s, leading to the high-performance WRX and STi. Today, the company is known for its practical AWD family vehicles and tuner-friendly sports cars.

Save time shopping for your next car using the VIN decoder Subaru fans trust when buying a new vehicle. Our Subaru VIN lookup tool tells you all the information encoded in this number, including engine options, build dates, and more.

When Subaru builds a new car, they assign a federally-mandated identifier called the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN.) This number is unique to the vehicle - it includes information about the car, including the model, equipment, and manufacturing location. Our Subaru VIN lookup decodes this number, turning it into information you can use when shopping for a vehicle

Búsqueda por VIN de Subaru

Our DMV VIN check tool translates the numbers and letters in the VIN into a form you can read. Our Subaru VIN number lookup tells you the model, year, engine, and more. This is useful for learning more about vehicles for sale and verifying the seller's information is correct. That way, you don't waste time looking at cars you don't want. It also helps you avoid questionable vehicles, like that “STi” that is really a WRX with some extra badges.

Before you spend your hard-earned cash, order a VIN report on the vehicle you want to buy. Our system can pull information from national, state, and institutional records to create a vehicle history. The report includes vehicle owner lookups, registrations and available data from all 50 states. This helps you avoid vehicles that have been in accidents or may have legal issues due to an unpaid lien or theft report.

Don't have the VIN handy? We also have a license plate lookup service. This uses publicly-available databases to find records on the vehicle. From there, it finds the VIN associated with the license number and gives you the same information you get with our Subaru VIN lookup.

¿Dónde buscar el VIN?

Some sales listings include the VIN number, making it easy to do a VIN check. You can also find it in several places around the vehicle:

Look through the windshield at the dashboard. You should see a plate with the VIN on the driver's side, next to the A-pillar.

Open the driver's door. You should see a sticker on the B-pillar. This sticker may be to the right of the door sill or below the door latch.

Open the hood. There are three locations where you may find a sticker or plate with the VIN printed on it:

  • on the top left of the firewall
  • on the inside of the left front fender
  • on the driver's side shock tower

The VIN can also be found on the title, insurance policy, and other official documents. This lets you find and decode the VIN without direct access to the vehicle.

This alternates between numbers and letters. Some letters, like “I” and “O” are omitted, so they aren't confused with numbers. 2023 model year vehicles use a “P” for this position, while numbers 1-9 were last used from 2001 to 2009.

This identifies the vehicle's final assembly plant, as well as the type of transmission used. Most vehicles have one of 6 characters in this position:

Older vehicles built in Ota City use “G” for this character, regardless of transmission or drive system.

Characters Twelve to Seventeen: Serial Number

There is no standard for issuing serial numbers, and it's possible for two vehicles from the same model year to have the same number. However, no two vehicles will have a completely identical VIN.

Preguntas frecuentes

Las ubicaciones cambian de un fabricante a otro, pero hay tres zonas en las que se puede encontrar el código en la mayoría de los vehículos:

- Mira en el salpicadero a través del parabrisas. En el lado del conductor, deberías ver una pequeña placa metálica con el número estampado en ella.
- Abre la puerta del conductor. Busca una pegatina de identificación en la parte frontal y en el lateral del marco de la puerta. Suele incluir el logo del fabricante. El código debería aparecer en esa pegatina.
- Abre el capó. Puede que veas una pegatina en el cortafuegos o al lado de la barra antitorsión del lado del pasajero. Algunos autos tienen el número grabado en una de estas partes.

Puesto que este número se usa para identificar al vehículo en documentos oficiales, también lo puedes encontrar en el título, la pegatina de la ventana y las pólizas de seguros.

También decodificamos números de vehículos recreativos, camiones pesados y motos. Si necesitas decodificar el número de un vehículo recreativo, asegúrate de que sea el emitido por el fabricante del chasis, no el del proveedor de servicios de equipamiento adicional.

No. Los vehículos canadienses y mexicanos suelen tener el mismo formato. Otros países utilizan sus propios formatos.

Es el fabricante quien determina lo que se incluye en algunas partes del número. Por ejemplo, algunas empresas no incluyen información sobre la transmisión o los niveles de equipamiento.

Normalmente, no. Hay pocos fabricantes que estampan el código dentro del motor. En esos casos, si el VIN del motor y el del auto coinciden, se trata del motor original. En cambio, en la mayoría de los vehículos no hay nada que vincule un motor a un vehículo específico. Como mucho, buscar el vehículo en nuestra web te dirá si se ha instalado otro tipo de motor. Por ejemplo, si alguien pone un V8 en un Ford Mustang, nuestra página te dirá que originalmente traía un V6.
