Audi VIN decoder

Enter a Audi VIN to get its year, model, trim, engine and assembly plant from NHTSA. Audi VINs start with one of 5 manufacturer codes across 2 countries; the first character tells you where it was built (T, W).

Audi World Manufacturer Identifiers

The first three characters of every VIN identify the manufacturer. They are registered for passenger car, multipurpose passenger vehicle (mpv).

Audi models and model years

Checking that a decoded year makes sense? These are the Audi models the EPA has rated since 2000, 30 of them still on sale for 2025 or later. A VIN whose 10th character points to a year outside a model's range is worth a second look.
