How to Decode an Audi VIN
- Find the VIN on your vehicle. On many Audi models, this number is positioned on the driver’s side dashboard and can be read from outside the car through the windshield. Alternatively, the VIN may also be located on the door jamb of the driver’s side or listed on your insurance and registration papers, should they be handy.
- Input this VIN above. You’ll promptly get a detailed vehicle history report of the Audi you’re looking into.
