TheID tag on Gator Utility Vehicles can be found either at the back right above the hitch or on the right side between the back tire and cargo box. The engine number can be found directly on the engine.

When a new car or a used car is purchased, the first things we notice and enquire about are the design, model, features, colour, engine capacity, and mileage, but what we forget to check is the engine number and the chassis or VIN number (also called Vehicle Identification Number).

The first digit in the VIN represents the country in which the vehicle is built. The first character could be a digit or a couple of alphabets or a combination of both. For instance, in India, if any vehicle is built, the VIN will start from MA-ME and MZ. The second and third digits provide details of the manufacturer.

The combination of the first three characters is known as WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) which tells about the manufacturer of the vehicle. In certain cases, the third character can also denote the manufacturer and also in some cases the type of vehicle. The first three letters also signify the division of the manufacturer in which the vehicle was made.

The VIN or the Chassis Number, is a unique identification number of a vehicle given by the vehicle manufacturer. The chassis number is used by the authorities at the vehicle registration office to register a vehicle. The 17-digit number of a particular vehicle helps to distinguish itself from other motor vehicle models and makes. The different ways to find the chassis or VIN number are given below:

When the car is insured or insurance is renewed, the VIN number is mentioned on the Insurance policy paper. With digitalisation, the insurance document is available in your email account as well and one can easily check the chassis number from the insurance paper.

One can also check under the front grille of their vehicle to check for the Chassis number as some manufacturers or car models who get the chassis number or the VIN printed under the front grille of the vehicle.

One can also visit the car dealer from where the car was purchased to call the dealership to find information regarding the engine number as they would be able to track the engine number of the vehicle.

The vehicle details can be located on the parivahan website launched by the MoRTH where one can easily get information regarding the vehicle details online through the registration details in the vahan portal. But in order to protect the user data, the portal will never provide the entire engine and chassis number of the vehicle you will be searching for. Read below to find out how to proceed with the steps while trying to get information of a vehicle from the vahan portal:

You can find the VIN number of your car by checking the dashboard on the driver's side, or under the hood of the car near the engine, or beneath the spare wheel in the car's boot, or under the front grille of the car, or on the driver's side door or rear wheel. You may also check the registration certificate or the car insurance policy paper for the VIN number or contact the car dealership for the details.

A VIN is important if you are buying a used car as it gives the details of the car's history, for understanding if your car has any safety recalls or if your car or parts of your car get stolen. The VIN helps the police to track the database and use the information to identify and locate the stolen car or car parts.

If this was a used engine the mileage will not mean much . The service it got is more important . If rebuilt just doing the normal service is all you can do . If you bought from a dealer they might have an idea but not likely. This is one of those just drive on and hope for the best.

It may be necessary to remove this shroud in order to locate the Model, Type, and Code for engine identification.
