How to Read a Land Rover VIN Number

VIN Description

Each character tells a specific story about your Land Rover model.

  • WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier - Positions 1-3) : Car manufacturer and place of origin.
  • VDS (Vehicle Descriptor Section - Positions 4-9) : Body style, engine specifications, specific details, and check digit based on a mathematical formula for VIN validation.
  • VIS (Vehicle Identifier Section - Positions 10-17) : Model year designation, assembly plant code showing production location, and serial number unique to each vehicle.

There are some other details that Land Rover owners and buyers should know:

  • The 11th character often identifies the assembly plant - e.g., "A" could mean Austria's Solihull facility.
  • Land Rover's engine codes "LFX," "LFA," and "LSA" often appear in VINs for specific V-designated engines.
  • Some U.S. models include "USA" in the VIN to designate U.S.-spec emission packages.
  • The first VIN digit "S" indicates a UK build; "W" would point to Germany in rare Jaguar Land Rover cases.
  • The VIN's tenth character is the model year. "A" is 1980, "L" is 1990, "Y" is 2000, "P" is 2023, "R" is 2024, "S" is 2025.
