Frequently Asked Questions
What do the first three characters of a Peugeot VIN mean?
They are the world manufacturer identifier. Most Peugeots built in France start with VF3, and some newer models use VR3.
Can a Peugeot VIN tell me the exact equipment?
Only partly. The VIN shows the model, body and engine family, while full equipment details come from Peugeot factory data.
Is the check digit used on Peugeot VINs?
Position 9 is a calculated check digit on VINs for North America. Cars built for other markets may use a filler character there, so a VIN that fails the check digit test is not automatically fake.
