What is the VIN number ?

The VIN number is a unique number that allows you to identify your vehicle. It is a 17 character code consisting of numbers and letters only. It does not contain the letter I (I), O (o) or P (q) (to avoid confusion with the numbers 1 and 0). VIN numbers were first used in 1954 in the United States.

In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the United States standardised the format. Cars sold should include a 17-character VIN that does not contain the letters I (I), O (o) or P (q) (to avoid confusion with the digits 1 and 0).

A common standard has therefore been developed to facilitate the work of the police, insurance companies and used car dealers. From now on, the VIN of every car has 17 characters – letters and numbers. If you are still wondering where the VIN number is in your Lexus?
