How this VIN pattern is read

A 17-character VIN carries two kinds of information: what was built, and which one it is. This page is the first kind — the nine highlighted positions.

Positions Characters What they encode
1–3 JA4 MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION (MMC) · World manufacturer identifier
4–8 AD2A3 Model, body style, engine and restraint system
9 × Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build
10 L Model year — 2020
11 × Assembly plant
12–17 ×××××× Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle
