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 JF2 SUBARU CORPORATION · World manufacturer identifier
4–8 SH6CC Model, body style, engine and restraint system
9 × Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build
10 A Model year — 2010
11 × Assembly plant
12–17 ×××××× Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle

NHTSA safety ratings

Crash-test results are published per model year and body style, so they cover the 2010 Subaru Forester as a whole rather than this build alone.

Rollover

Where this data comes from

Specification fields are decoded from the manufacturer's filings in the NHTSA vPIC database, keyed on VIN positions 1–8 and 10. We publish the filed values as they stand and leave out anything the filing does not record.

Prices are asking prices from 255 live dealer listings decoded to this build , last updated August 30, 2026 . They are what sellers ask, not what buyers paid.

Vehicle counts come from the 12,154 VINs of this build we have seen in dealer inventory. They are a sample of the road population, not a production figure.
