How to decode a Mercury VIN

Characters 1-3 of a Mercury VIN

World Manufacturer Identifiers (WMIs) are the first three characters of a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), uniquely identifying the manufacturer of the vehicle. For Mercury vehicles, several WMIs highlight their production history and geographic diversity. For example, the WMI 1ME represents Mercury passenger cars manufactured by Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Michigan, United States, covering model years 1981 to 2009. Similarly, 2ME denotes Mercury passenger cars produced by Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, from 1985 to 2011. This system allows for precise identification, tracing each vehicle back to its manufacturer, vehicle type, and the location of its manufacturing facility.
