Remember that caravan years start in September, so your '6' really means from Sep 05 to Aug 06
The date code in the VIN number refers to model year, not build year, hence Brum's correct comment. This applies to all vehicles, whether cars or caravans.kenf said:aah !!! not sure if its the same but on cars over here we in ni we talk about the year 06/07/08 etc but on the mainlsand yous talk about what plate its on )06/07/08 yous dont care what year it is but what plate its on ????
so in fact the question at the start of this topic wasnt answered correctly then ? (he asked if it was possible to age a van from the vin , when in fact you are only able to age the model and the year could be out by a year (06 or 07)Lutz said:The date code in the VIN number refers to model year, not build year, hence Brum's correct comment.
