It can be easy to mistype a VIN number so be careful. Some common mistakes include flipped letters and numbers, or confusing some of the following letters and numbers with each other:
- letter O / number 0
- letter I / number 1
- letter B / number 8
- letter Z / number 2
- letter S / number 5
- letter Y / number 4
If your vehicle has a Previous Accident History, you will also want to ensure that you are reading a VIN from your original vehicle, since replaced body parts may be marked with a different VIN.
