What a Nissan VIN tells you
Every Nissan built since 1981 has a 17-character VIN. The first three characters (the World Manufacturer Identifier) show who built it and where; characters 4–8 describe the model, body and engine; the 10th character is the model year; the 11th is the assembly plant; and the last six are the vehicle’s serial number.
| VIN starts with | Usually means |
|---|---|
| 1N4 / 1N6 | Nissan built in the United States |
| 3N1 / 3N6 | Nissan built in Mexico |
| JN1 / JN8 | Nissan built in Japan |
| 5N1 | Nissan SUVs built in the United States |
Prefixes are a general guide. The decoder above reads the full VIN for the exact details.
How to get the original Nissan window sticker
Nissan does not offer a public tool for pulling up the original window sticker of a used car. A Nissan dealer can often print the original equipment list from the VIN, and paid window sticker services can recreate it.
Nissan model codes
Besides the VIN, Nissans have a model code on the label in the driver’s door frame. It identifies the exact trim and equipment and is useful when ordering parts.
Where to find the VIN on a Nissan
- On the dashboard on the driver’s side; look through the bottom of the windshield
