Do not put specific Vehicle Identification Codes on this page. They will be removed.

Volvo Cars uses the following VIN codes and formats:

This VIN number decoding and designation system is used primarily for the North American Market. European and Asian markets use other decoding and designation systems.

Volvo Car Corporation is a registered Swedish based company that was owned by parent group Ford Motor Company as part of its Premier Automotive Group from 1999 until 2010 when Ford Motor Company sold it to Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. The Volvo Car Corp still has concerns with its past parent AB Volvo when it comes to vehicle safety systems, crash testing, engines, ocean races, and some parts. The Volvo name, trademark, and logo are owned by Volvo Trademark Holding AB, which is jointly owned by Volvo Car Corp. and Volvo AB.

Volvo Car Corp. uses World Manufacturer Identifiers beginning with YV for most European-built vehicles.

Volvo VIN History and Updates

edit

The Volvo Cars group started using a standard VIN pattern in 1975 on the 164 and 240 series vehicles. Since the VIN specification had not been defined yet, the codes are a somewhat different configuration than modern VIN codes yet still contain much of the same information. The most distinguishable features are the 2 character manufacturer identifier "VC" and 15 character length.

At least European models of 240 series prior to 1981 may have a VIN with 13 characters, or even 12 characters, in this case VIN omitting one number where a two-number motor code should be, right before the year-of-manufacture-letter (B, E, H, L, M for years 1975-1979, respectively). Examples in the internet often prefix the VIN with "VC" or "YV", but this is not always present in these older models.

In 1981 Volvo changed the VIN pattern in accordance with the ISO Standard 3779 for vehicle VIN numbers. Volvo cars sold in North America from 1981 to 1991 had a VIN pattern that is slightly different than Volvo cars produced after 1991. The most significant changes in the post 1991 VIN were the 5th and 8th position characters. The 5th character was changed from representing the safety equipment to represent the body style and safety equipment. This also helped ease the integration of front wheel drive configurations (850 series) into the existing VIN pattern. It seems likely that the old (81-91) position 8 character was combined with the position 5 codes in 1992 which resulted in new codes in the 5th character position. This left the 8th character position open to represent the engine emission control setup.

With the discontinuation of the rear wheel drive models, Ford acquisition, and new series designations (C, S and V series and later XC) in 1999, Volvo VIN patterns changed again. The main change came again to the 5th character representing body style and safety equipment. After 1998 the 5th character changed to represent the vehicle platform. While the information being represented by the character position was somewhat backwards compatible with the codes used prior to 1999, it should be considered representational of a different data set. After 1999 the 4th character should also be considered representational of a new data set for vehicle code to with the change of series designations.

In 2008 the U.S. National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration decided to change the structure of the VIN pattern. For model year 2010 and forward all cars with market code 31 and 39 (USA and Canada) position 4-5 change places with position 6-8 (i.e. 12345678 becomes 12367845).
