How to decode Aston Martin VIN
Position 1 - Country
The first position in the VIN shows the country of assembly. This is where the Aston Martin was made. Since Aston Martin cars are made in England, the VIN numbers will always start with S.
- S - United Kingdom
Position 2 - Manufacturer
This number tells you about the manufacturer of your car.
- C - Aston Martin
Position 3 - Division
It provides information on the division. If the manufacturer has multiple divisions, this number helps pinpoint which one produced your car.
Position 4 to 8
Position 9 - Check Number
This is used to verify if the VIN is valid. This number is generated by a formula developed by the DOT.
