Which VIN codes does a Mitsubishi have?
The first three characters (WMI) of a Mitsubishi VIN are usually one of these: JA3 – Mitsubishi cars, Japan; JA4 – Mitsubishi SUVs, Japan; JMB – Mitsubishi, Japan (European versions); 4A3 – Mitsubishi, Normal, Illinois (older models). A VIN with another code is not necessarily wrong, since makers change codes over time, but decode it to see what it says.
