Which VIN codes does a Vauxhall have?
The first three characters (WMI) of a Vauxhall VIN are usually one of these: W0L – Vauxhall (same base as Opel); W0V – Vauxhall, after the PSA takeover (2017+). A VIN with another code is not necessarily wrong, since makers change codes over time, but decode it to see what it says.
