Example #2: Given photo of Proton VIN

[edit]
What could it be ?
Code Possible answers Some considerations
PL1 Proton Malaysia Almost every Proton VIN starts with 'PL1'.
BT3 Saga or Savvy, 1.3L engine 'BT' is the platform code used for all second and third generation Saga models, as well as the Savvy. '3' denotes that this car has a 1.3-litre engine. However, the Savvy only came with a 1.2L engine...
S 4-door sedan Now we know it's a sedan. At this point, it's quite safe to say that the car in question is a Proton Saga from 2008 or later. But which Saga is it ?
T CVT2 (Punch) The VIN tells us that the car has a Punch VT2 CVT. We can rule out the Saga BLM, since the BLM 4-spd auto has a 'R' transmission code.
R Right-hand drive Most Protons are right-hand drive.
H 2017 At this point, we can safely guess that this is a third generation Saga 1.3L CVT. However, there may be a slight possibility that the car could also be a second generation Saga FLX 1.3L CVT.

An important note : Malaysia doesn't really use the 'Model year' classification. We do however use '2016 build' or '2016 batch' instead. If a car was manufactured in the second-half of 2016, it may have a '2017 build/batch' model year code on its VIN, even though it was actually manufactured in 2016.
B Shah Alam (Original plant / Plant 1) Contrary to popular belief, Proton actually has three plants; two in Shah Alam and one in Tanjung Malim. The first Shah Alam plant began operating in 1985. Some years later, Proton constructed a smaller plant within their Shah Alam complex, near the original plant. This second plant is called Medium Volume Factory (MVF), and began operating in 2000. Proton's third plant in Tanjung Malim went operational in 2004.
000471 Unique identifier The unique identifier '000471' does not necessarily indicate this car is the 471st unit off the production line.

You can roughly guess most car identities by simply decoding its VIN.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The sixth character in a Proton VIN refers to the engine under the bonnet.
  2. ^ These are the internal codes used during the development stage of each new Proton model. Proton has revealed several of these internal codes in the past, but many others were never publicly revealed and remain unknown.
  3. ^ This code refers to where the car is manufactured/assembled.
    B = Shah Alam (Main plant / Plant 1)
    C = AMM Pekan
    F = Shah Alam (MVF plant / Plant 2)
    G = Tanjung Malim / Proton City
  4. ^ a b c This is the exact VIN model code, as seen on the VIN plate. It is the most precise form of reference.
  5. ^ a b c This code is derived from the VIN model code. This 'simplified' model code is shorter and easier to memorise, and is more widely used in Wikipedia articles and other real-world applications.
  6. ^ This code refers to the country of origin and manufacturer.
    PL1 = Proton (Malaysia)
    LKG = Youngman Lotus (China)
  7. ^ The VIN codes for the engines under the bonnet.
  8. ^ These are the codes Youngman Lotus have assigned to their models. These codes are not part of the 17-character VIN. They are separate, much shorter codes which are also stamped onto every VIN plate.
  9. ^ These are the internal codes used during the development stage of each new Perodua model. Perodua has revealed several of these internal codes in the past, but many others were never publicly revealed and remain unknown.
