How to find your VIN online

[Dee James]

I don`t know if this has already been posted before or will be useful to anyone but though i would post.

I wanted to find my VIN without having to wait until i got home to dig out my details so this is what i did:

i went to this site, i`m sure others will work as well

247 Spares - Buy Cheap Car Parts Online! - UK

Type in your reg and click "find my vehicle details".

On the next page, (presuming its identified the correct car), right click and select view source page

click CTRL F and a search window will open

search VIN

Just typed my reg in and it's down as an Audi S8. It was, but I got rid of in December 2012.

The same plate was then on a Jaguar XFR for 12 months and is now on my Merc, so the site may not be 100% accurate?

Try this one, it's Audi but returns VIN for any marque

I remember reading this a while back but it seemed to have stopped working, but it just worked for me, thanks

Well, just tried that Audi one and that wouldn't have it either. Starting to get paranoid then thinking that my car's off the radar and due a pull next time it's out.

Happily it does exist according to the Juratek site, so thanks for that.

Off to check MID now just to be 100%

possibly that site`s info source is out of date?

Had me worried too until I realised I was placing a space in the reg number!
