The manufacturer assigns a unique number to the vehicle in advance. A 17-digit image (VIN code) is applied to an integral part of the vehicle or a special plate. The VIN code is also entered in the technical passport.
Each Lada Vesta model has an identification number. The VIN code for a Lada vesta allows you to avoid troubles when buying a used car, that is, you can be sure that the car is not listed as stolen and is not pawned.
There are no uniform standards for applying a VIN code. One manufacturer indicates it on a metal plate, another - near the steering wheel or driver's seat. We will look at the principle of composing wine and the method of applying it to AVTOVAZ cars. We will also indicate what to do with the identification number of the owner of Lada vesta and other models in case of loss of the duplicate plate.

Checklist: decoding Vesta's Vin code information
The vehicle's VIN includes information about the country of manufacture, production date, body type, plant, box and other information about the vehicle. The VINs of Lada vesta cars, in particular the Lada model, are located on metal plates. So, how to decrypt VIN-Lada 2180? Let's say you are the owner of a car XTA GFL110 G Y000000

Where are the numbers
The VIN code of the Lada Vesta car is stamped on the middle pillar of the car on the right side (passenger side). The VIN code is also duplicated on the wall between the engine compartment and the engine.
Explanation of the marking table, which is located on the right pillar, below, near the threshold:
1 - company; 2 — vehicle approval number; 3 — VIN code; 4 — permissible maximum weight; 5 - maximum permitted weight with trailer; 6 — permissible load on the front axle; 7 — permissible load on the rear axle; 8 - code for spare parts; 9 — engine model; 10 - modification of the car.
Let us recall that in accordance with the Decision of the Customs Union Commission dated June 15, 2011 No. 711, the model year is defined as a conditional year indicated by the manufacturer (usually following the actual year of manufacture of the vehicle).
At JSC AVTOVAZ, the start of the model year is set on July 1 of the calendar year. Thus, from January 1 to June 30, the model year corresponds to the actual year of manufacture of the car, and from July 1 to December 31 corresponds to the one following the actual year of manufacture of the car.
The model and engine number of VAZ 21129 are stamped on the end of the cylinder block on the left next to the gearbox.
What to do if the Lada Vesta VIN plate is lost due to an accident or repair?
It is important to have a VIN plate at the time of sale and purchase. If the marked plate is attached incorrectly (not as intended by the manufacturer), then registration occurs on the basis of the main marking of the vehicle. A corresponding note is made in the technical passport (that the plate is attached using a homemade method). The plate may be lost or damaged during an accident or repair. For example, a blow to the side of a Vesta car damages the B-pillar. There is a possibility that the sign that was under it cannot be restored.
The traffic police representative, who will register the car, will examine the wine under the hood of the Lada 2180. If he expresses doubts about its authenticity, the car owner will have to do an examination. Then check the numbers on the plate again.
Decoding
A car enthusiast can read the identifier correctly without special training.
VIN is a combination of Latin letters and Arabic numbers. Information about the car parameters reflected in the meaning of each symbol is written in the form of combinations:
Deciphering parts of the VIN code
WMI – international standard number.
- the first letter indicates geographical location;
- the second is the country where the manufacturer is located;
- the third is directly from the manufacturer.
It is possible to assign multiple unique WMI numbers. They can also be assigned to other enterprises. However, this can only be done after a period of 30 years has passed from the date of first assignment.
VIN number of Lada Vesta
VDS - descriptive part - determines the type and parameters of the vehicle, using characters 4-8. Sign No. 9 - a check digit to prevent interruptions - may indicate additional information about the vehicle.
VIS – index part of the code: 10th character – model year; 11th – manufacturer; signs from 12 to 17 are the serial number of the car.
What is the use of a VIN code?
This convenient form of identification was invented in the United States of America back in the 1970s. Widespread use began only in the late 80s. As was said, there are no uniform design rules. But manufacturers are required to adhere to a certain international standard when producing cars for export. The standard is designed so that the number is unique.
The convenience of a VIN plate is undeniable: it allows you to reliably determine when purchasing whether the car has been pledged or stolen from its rightful owner.
What to do if you lose your VIN plate due to various circumstances
As numerous crash tests of the Lada Vesta have shown, in the event of a side impact, the central pillar (where the plate with the VIN number is located) moves into the car interior. As a rule, in the event of such an accident there is no choice but to replace the central pillar. Well, if you are unlucky and have lost your identification plate as a result of an accident or other body repair, the fate of your car is then at the mercy of the law.
The fact is that traffic police officers must check the VIN number with the number located under the hood of the car. If the reconciliation is successful and without problems, the car will be registered. If traffic police officers have any suspicions, the car will be sent for examination. And after the examination, if everything goes smoothly, you can go to register the vehicle.

Location of Lada Vesta engine number
Seeing the number on a Lada Vesta engine is not an easy task. The number itself is located at the end of the cylinder block, near the gearbox. However, knowing the location isn't everything. If you need to get a good look at the number, you will have to resort to using a cane mirror and a flashlight. Also, this element of the engine design bears the designation of the engine model.
Decoding the VIN identification number of Lada Vesta
For example, you have a Lada Vesta SV Phantom with VIN number XTAGFL120GY000000 . Let's figure out in order what each of the digits of this number means.
XTA - the first three characters indicate the manufacturer's code in the international format GFL120 - the 4th to 9th characters indicate the vehicle model G - the 10th character indicates the year of manufacture of the vehicle Y000000 - the 11th to 17th characters indicate the serial number of the vehicle.
Symbols for the year of manufacture of the car:
| Vehicle model year | Symbol |
| 2015 | F |
| 2016 | G |
| 2017 | H |
| 2018 | J |
| 2019 | K |
| 2020 | L |
| 2021 | M |
| 2022 | N |
As you may have noticed, the year of manufacture of the car is encrypted using a letter of the Latin alphabet. Vesta production began in 2015, which corresponds to the letter F. Then the years go alphabetically, i.e. 2016 - G, 2022 - H, etc.

Therefore, information about further operation should be obtained from the traffic police.
When checking, it may turn out that the Lada Vesta’s VIN number is difficult to distinguish or is missing.

The documents are sent to the police department. All this time, the car will be on a special site, where it will be examined by forensic experts. If everything is fine with the history, the owner will be allowed to reapply the identifier to the body. Labeling work is carried out by a certified laboratory or manufacturer.
