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
1) The first 3 digits are the international code of the manufacturer, for example AvtoVAZ;
2) 4 and 5 digits are the model number, i.e. GF means the Vesta number;
3) 6 digit L means body: L is a sedan, K is a station wagon, and B is a hatchback, which does not exist yet;
4) digit 7 is the engine code: 1 - 21129, 2 - 11189, 3 - 21179, 4 - h4m Renoshny. Vesta CNG is designated by the letter A
5) number 8 is a box: 1 manual from VAZ, 2 robot, 3 manual transmission Renault;
6) digit 9 is always 0;
7) 10th digit is the year of manufacture: 2015 - F, 2016-G, 2017-H, 2022 -J, 2019-K, 2020-L, 2021-M, 2022-N;

The specified decoding principle is suitable for all sedans, station wagons and gas cars Lada 2180, including gfl11 51 9t9, gfl11-52-X00, Lada gfl110, Lada gfl12 51 9t9 and Vesta gfl12 51 000.
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.
VIN number in the VESTA model range
The popularity of the Lada Vesta Sedan in the automotive market in 2016 inspired the auto giant to work on continuing the model range. Already in the fall of 2017, the first applications for SW Cross and SW station wagons were received. The SV-cross model was distinguished by enlarged 17-inch wheels, a protective plastic body kit, special chassis settings, and an updated interior with gray and orange inserts. At the end of 2018, Lada Vesta became the best-selling car in Russia. The line-up is completed by a new product for the 2022 model year - Lada Vesta Sport with a 145 hp engine. With.
In Lada Vesta, the VIN number is indicated in the summary plate on the right pillar, below, on the threshold. A duplicate VIN code is stamped on the metal nearby. Factory data is identical in location for all three models: “Sedan”, “SV-cross” and “SV”.
Registration without VIN code
It happens that the middle pillar with VIN on the Lada Vesta is damaged and requires replacement. Such troubles can be the result of an accident, unsuccessful repairs, or an example of the “work” of rust. It is difficult to check and update information about a car: AvtoVAZ does not provide for the restoration of identification data. Therefore, information about further operation should be obtained from the traffic police.
The owners find a way out of the situation when the VIN on the Vesta is damaged in the algorithm of applying special markings to cars with damaged identifiers.
When checking, it may turn out that the Lada Vesta’s VIN number is difficult to distinguish or is missing. Further, in order to avoid cases of fraud, certain seals are installed on the car and stamps are placed. Photos of the damaged area are entered into the unified traffic police database. 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.
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.
Lada vesta rear suspension
ABS, HSA, EBD, ESC, TCS, two airbags for the driver and front passenger, door locking function while driving, ISOFIX child seat mount, child lock on the rear doors, immobilizer, alarm system, ERA-GLONASS warning system, protection engine.
The interior of the Lada Vesta car looks no less presentable than the exterior. Five adults of average build will be happy with comfortable accommodation. Thanks to the impressive external dimensions of the body, rear passengers do not rest their knees on the backs of the front seats. The distance from the seat cushion to the ceiling allows fairly tall people to fit comfortably inside.
The front seats have a clearly defined texture and enhanced lateral support. The backrest of the rear sofa can be folded down in a 60/40 ratio, thereby significantly increasing the volume of the already capacious trunk. Drivers will enjoy the presence of adjustable steering wheel for reach and tilt. The front panel of the cabin is equipped with a stylish instrument panel and a modern console with a built-in radio.
The braking system of the Lada Vesta consists of front disc brakes and rear “drums”. For those who like fast and dynamic driving, it is possible to install rear disc brakes.
The front suspension is independent, with double-acting telescopic hydraulic gas-filled shock absorbers, coil springs mounted on the front suspension struts, lower wishbones and an anti-roll bar mounted on the subframe.
The Vesta pendant is completely original. A subframe appeared on which two engine support points (stretch) were placed. The other two support points of the power unit are located on the side members. MacPherson struts remain. The main feature of the Vesta’s front suspension is that instead of the “figure-eight” longitudinal brace and wishbone, one L-shaped lever with a castor of 5 degrees appeared (see.
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.

The marking is located on the left (in the direction of travel) area of the cylinder block, directly above the connector with the gearbox. You can check the symbols using an inspection mirror with a flashlight, or you can take a photo on your phone by holding your hand from the side of the engine shield:
