For 2010 onwards, the alphabetical system resumes. Vehicles manufactured in 2001 carry the digit '1,' and the sequence continues until 2009 when the digit '9' is reached.
The code begins with an 'A' representing 1980 and runs alphabetically until 2000, when the letter is 'Y.' This character represents the year of manufacture for vehicles made after 1980. 4 Find out the year the vehicle was manufactured by looking at the 10th character of the VIN.
