Audi VIN check: A3, A4, A6 and Q5.
Discover the available information about damage, mileage, service, factory equipment and previous use.
Identify the exact generation of an Audi
Names such as A4 or A6 are used for several very different generations. The VIN helps you identify the car correctly before checking its history.
Identify the generation, year of manufacture, engine and transmission type.
Check the exact version, the drivetrain configuration and the available equipment.
Compare the generation, engine and original equipment with the information in the listing.
Confirm the generation, transmission type and presence of the quattro system, when the data is available.
What technical information you can identify
Check the engine type, fuel, power output and other available technical characteristics.
Identify the available information about the manual, S tronic or tiptronic transmission.
Check whether the car was configured with front-wheel drive or a quattro system.
Where do you find the VIN on an Audi?
At the base of the windscreen, on the driver's side, visible from outside.
On the manufacturer's label placed on the door frame or the central pillar.
The position differs depending on the model and year of manufacture.
In the registration certificate, in field E, and in the vehicle identity card.
What is worth checking on a used Audi
Check the transmission type and the available service history. On the test drive, watch for vibrations, delays or abrupt shifts.
Check whether quattro drive is part of the car's configuration. During the physical inspection, look at the condition and even wear of the tyres.
Review the service and repair history. For diesel engines, check the available information about the DPF, EGR and AdBlue systems.
History matters more than the exterior
An Audi can look flawless after repairs or reconditioning. Check the damage events, earlier photos and mileage progression before you assess the offer. For imported cars, follow the chronology of the records and the countries where the vehicle was used.
