The VIN is a car's unique identification code. In most cases it has 17 characters and contains information about the manufacturer, model and configuration. Certcar uses it to search for the available data about the vehicle's history.
The VIN can be found in the registration certificate, in the vehicle identity card or directly on the car, usually at the bottom of the windscreen, on the door pillar or in the engine bay.
