Hi guys
Been a while, but need some help I just purchased an XF Panel Van . YAY Yes.. unseen from the internet.. OMG !! Communication with the seller has be good and helpful But... (here we go) .. ![]() He took a photo of the Compliance Plate so I could see the VIN He read the VIN to me as well..and texted it to me No big deal.. But.. doing a search.. it comes up as invalid I have read it from the photo and are going to get him to check it again The VIN is: JG42GJ21580.. that's all I have, but thinking it should have 6FPAAA in front ? Can anyone help me with this as the plate clearly has this number stamped on it.. The van is 05/1986 XF Thanks in advance Mark |

I just tried again and the message reads as:
No vehicles found. NEVDIS has responded with no vehicle information for this serial number. This is possibly due to an error in the serial number you entered But the Serial No. is correct that I can read (11 numbers) |

As noted by Dr Terry and referring to this page https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/ve...orts/vins.aspx
Vin numbers did not start being used until 1st of January 1989. All numbers used on cars were not called vin. They were serial numbers. The reason your number doesn’t come up would more than likely not be in their database, as anthing that old would be too difficult for them to add.

J = Australia G = Broadmeadows 42 = Falcon Van. (JH/JG build). http://www.fomoco.com.au/ID.html G = 1986 J = may 21580 = ford only knows what this is and if theres another letter after them 5 numbers it usually depicts engine size

Thanks everyone
Yes RoKWiz, JG42GJ21580 is correct.. a "C" follows this I understand now when the VINs were introduced But how do you check if the vehicle is free of all titles ? ![]() (not stolen or money owed) ? I know its closing the gate after the horse has bolted..but ![]() I have all 3 photos of the plates (including the GAS plate) Will try to decipher the original build Thanks for your input and help Mark ![]() |

Thank you Wodahs for that
Paid the $2 fee.. and received a certificate Although no information about the vehicle was available, no security was held nor interest was registered Hopefully that will be sufficient to have it transferred and registered into my name when its road worthy ![]() Thanks everyone |

Or just tuck the tailpipe out the drivers rear quarter, like many older vans did anyway.

It's a typo, the L should be a G or a H, to show either assembled in Broadmeadows or Brisbane. I'd be betting on it being a G

Just found this explanation of Capri codes that shows an L code for Broadmeadows, which would back up my suggestion.
http://members.pcug.org.au/~jcarroll...nge%20assembly. My memory was wrong on the Telstar. Pictures on the web seem to show it being produced alongside Falcon (plant 1). . |

Hi. A Nissan Ute would be a better buy, they had a longer warranty.
