Mazda VIN decoder
Enter a Mazda VIN to get its year, model, trim, engine and assembly plant from NHTSA. Mazda VINs start with one of 6 manufacturer codes across 2 countries; the first character tells you where it was built (3, J).
Mazda World Manufacturer Identifiers
The first three characters of every VIN identify the manufacturer. They are registered for passenger car, multipurpose passenger vehicle (mpv), truck.

Mazda models and model years
Checking that a decoded year makes sense? These are the Mazda models the EPA has rated since 2000, 7 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.
