According to the requirements of the standard in the VIN, the year of manufacture is indicated by the 10th character. Not all manufacturers comply with this - explicitly, the year of issue in the VIN on the European market is not indicated on HONDA, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, MAZDA, Toyota, NISSAN cars. But models released for the North American market necessarily contain the model year in the 10th VIN character.
