Weser 30 Posted September 9, 2014 Ok so this is one of these things that once I have thought about its now bugging me and I can't seem to find the answers. Firstly does anyone have build dates on their VIN plates? I don't on any of my 205's, GTi and a CTi. However I am sure I have seen this on some 205s? Secondly what does the number underneath Automobiles Peugeot and above the Vin number represent? It looks like it has something to do with age. They all seem to start with 04006 then have different two numbers and end with a V. I have a K plate Cti with 0400625V and an F reg Cti with 0400616V. Anyone know?

Weser 30 Posted September 10, 2014 I will take you up on that Glen. Would be interested in a VIN decode if that is possible? Really want to know what this random number means. I thought someone on here would know the answer straight away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iPlod999 143 1 Cars Posted September 10, 2014 Message sent to Andy Hi Andy. I signed up to this site a while ago. http://uk.vin-info.com/ Initially it was a 1 off payment and as many searches as you wanted. It now asks for a £3.50 payment for each search. I does give an exact, to the day, build date. I'll post it in the thread for info for others who may be interested. Sorry. Glen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
