Why check before buying

Toyota has a reputation for reliability, but mileage can still be rolled back and some units were write-offs. Confirm the history by VIN.

Chassis number

What a Toyota VIN looks like

The first three characters of a VIN identify the manufacturer. On a Toyota you will usually see the ones below.

  • JTDJTMJTEbuilt in Japan
  • SB1built in the United Kingdom (Auris, Avensis, Corolla)
  • VNKbuilt in France (Yaris)
  • NMTbuilt in Turkey (Corolla, C-HR)

The first two characters point to the manufacturer's country, not necessarily to the plant the car left. The list is not complete: the same brand uses other codes too, mostly for cars built outside Europe. If the VIN in the papers starts differently than you expect, compare it with the one on the body before you buy.
