Are VINs sequential

[chtucker]

My VIN is in the 11,000s.. does that mean it was 11,xxx built? So midway through the 25k is production?

Mine is 7273 picked up on December 28, 2023. Probably sequential but since sold to many different countries not sequential in USA or any country is my guess. Just a guess though.

VINs are sequential - it is part of the Construction and Use rules around the world. (All part of the ability to track safety and emissions issues from production line to scrap heap).

Your guess is right, mine is 7601, picked up 25th November in UK spec. Yours came off the production line just days before me, with a shorter delivery time I got it 1 month earlier.

And idea when the 11,000s were produced and delivered to the US (Seattle)?

FWIW, I’m in the 10,200s and I was built in Dec. 2023.

FWIW, mine is 12519 and in its 5th month of wandering aimlessly somewhere between France and Dallas.

My reason for asking was trying to figure out how long it might have sat on the dealer lot.. just curious

In the UK and EU when a new car is handed over to the customer, they also hand over the "Certificate of Conformity".
This along with the VIN will also included build date.
Not having to comply with EU regulations I presume there is no similar document in the US
