Bentley VIN Decoder


Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

The VIN of Bentley cars has an identical VIN structure (body number), which fully complies with the standard, since by that time the brand belonged to the "Rolls-Royce Motors" group. Since the Bentley brand was taken over by the Volkswagen Audi Group in 1998, all new models have a different VIN structure.

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.
