When buying a car, if you want to know the history of the vehicle, it is worth knowing the VIN number of the vehicle. The problem may be to locate this string of numbers and letters, because every Tatra model has it in a different place.

Where is the VIN in Tatra?

The VIN should be located permanently on the chassis or body on the right side of the vehicle in a visible place. In Tatra vehicles, it is located in different places, depending on the car’s model. In older cars, it was placed on the vehicle’s nameplate or it was “crammed” or embossed on a vehicle frame or body. In new vehicles, the numbers are often visible in the form of a sticker behind the windshield.

If we are not able to locate the number ourselves, it is worth coming to the SKP and ask the diagnostician for help. The easiest way, however, will be to use our tool, which is available at www.vin-location.com. 

You can find the VIN of the Tatra you are interested in here.
Remember to check your vehicle history before buying! You can do it by entering the VIN Tatra number below:

It’s a good idea to decipher the VIN before you buy the vehicle to make sure you’re actually paying for what you’re buying. Unfortunately, it may turn out that the new equipment adversely affects the vehicle and frequent visits to the dealership will be necessary. By checking the VIN we are also able to determine whether by chance the vehicle entered the country illegally. This is unfortunately an increasingly common problem.

 Where is the VIN in standard vehicle locations?

The VIN number is an individual vehicle identification number that is a series of 17 characters. This code is stamped into vehicles by their manufacturers, and can usually be found in the engine compartment or on the driver’s side windshield. However, it really all depends on the make and model of vehicle you own. So if we don’t know where the VIN is in the car we can check a few more standard places ie.

  •  The front of the engine block under the hood.
  • The front end of the frame (old cars).
  • The dashboard on the driver’s side.
  • The door frame on the driver’s side (inside).

As we mentioned earlier it is usually easiest to locate the VIN number in the lower right corner of the dashboard. We should then be able to read it by looking at the windshield from the driver’s side.
The VIN number may also be located in the door frame on the driver’s side or on the door pillar . Therefore, to determine where the VIN is in this location, open the door on the driver’s side and look around the edges, because there is usually a small sticker there. Some vehicle manufacturers also place the VIN on the opposite side of the door on the driver’s side, near where the seat belt is located.
Slightly more difficult to access places where the VIN number is also placed are the wheels. However, if we can’t locate it anywhere it’s worth taking a look there. To do this, go to the rear of the car and take a good look at the wheels on both sides. In such a search, the use of a flashlight may prove necessary.
If your car has a spare wheel in the back of the trunk and you have not been able to find the VIN number anywhere else, it may be located there.
