Which VIN codes does a Mazda have?
The first three characters (WMI) of a Mazda VIN are usually one of these: JM1 – Mazda cars, Japan; JM3 – Mazda SUVs, Japan; JMZ – Mazda, Japan (European versions); 3MZ – Mazda, Salamanca (Mexico). A VIN with another code is not necessarily wrong, since makers change codes over time, but decode it to see what it says.

On DecodeThatVIN, the most searched Mazda models are the BT-50, 6, 626, CX-8 and Demio. Each model page lists its generations and engines, so you can compare the car with its VIN.
