I think you can take help from Google. Though you can try this one VIN search website is here https://vinpit.com I hope you will get more details. All the best!

Hi Dave,
I believe your vin is VBKJGA4M7CC006687

For what it's worth for everyone else - If you go to the Chipex website and stick your reg in the search box, your VIN appears in the URL once you've clicked search

I reckon this is interesting for people who are looking for a used car and want to know all the specifications or want to sell on their own car:

1. Go to http://www.247spares.co.uk/
2. Enter the registration number
3. If the details are correct right click on the screen and select "View page source"
4. Press CTRL + F and search for VIN
5. Copy the VIN number and go to http://www.decodervin.pl/

Then you should get all the information you need.

And if you want to look for recalls just go to: http://www.vindecoderz.com/
I have just found this alternative VIN decoder on VINCheckFree.com. Hope it helps

VIN encoding is a system in most modern vehicles that allow manufacturers and other parties to store and retrieve specific information. VIN decoding is the action of analyzing an unknown VIN number with the purpose of determining how many VINs have been issued, what information can be retrieved from each, and what format the number uses. If you're trying to identify your vehicle's VIN decoder, https://vinnumberlookup.com/ can help you decode it quickly.

Hi Jack.day

It does work - I'll explain how:

Go to chipex.co.uk and enter reg and click the white magnifying glass icon.

Wait for the page to change, then RIGHT click on your mouse and click on "view page source"

Press CTRL and F together and enter VIN - make sure you have the "highlight all" selected in the search options. Now, if you look to the far right of your screen, on line 178, you should see "VIN=" highlighted. Scroll the page towards the right a bit more and the VIN is presented immediately after VIN=

Hope this has helped - if you're still having problems send me a message and I'll see if I can help a bit more.
