Guys! My new Honda Jazz is ready for delivery.
There is one glitch:
From VIN, manufacturing date decoded to be 10/2017.
From Form22, it is 09/2017.
In the Smart Card, it turns out to be 08/2017.

Please let me know if this is normal or I should raise the flag.

You should raise it. Normally, VIN and Form 22 date should match. Check other details on Form 22 like engine number etc to verify that Form 22 is of your car only.

Hello Friends,
My first post in this forum relates to VIN no of my about to be delivered Honda Jazz Petrol. The VIN no is MAKGK773JH4103082.
I can make out that the Car is Sept 2017 One. Is it OK that the Car is nearly 2 Month Old? Does VIN no tell us about the variant?
Kindly Help !

Do the PDI properly and if you are satisfied then only go ahead. A 2 months old car is not a matter of concern.

Hi all,

I am about to purchase a second hand Mahindra Scorpio but the dealer couldn't tell me the exact date of manufacture. The VIN number is:

MA1TM4HSND2042934

FYI: This car is an international left hand drive model not sold in India. I don't know if this make a difference.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

There is "D" at 10th position means the vehicle is manufactured in 2013.

My dealer has informed me that the VIN of my Ford Aspire is MAJXZZMTKZHK88558. I Checked it on FordEtis home page but says no information available on the entered VIN.
Any idea what to do next?[surprise]
Seems to be right VIN.
In Ford, 11th Letter will denote year of Manufacture and 12th is month.
so for MAJXZZMTKZHK88558
H=2017, K under '2013,2017' column (see image) is October
