WV1

The first three characters of every VIN are the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). The code WV1 is assigned to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, with the country of manufacture Germany.

So any 17-character VIN that begins with WV1 was produced by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles:

WV1ZZZ0000000000000

The WMI only identifies the maker. To read the year, engine, plant and serial number, decode the complete 17-digit VIN with our free tool — then check which ECU it uses and what tuning services (DPF, EGR, AdBlue, DTC off, Stage) are available.
