Dongfeng VIN History Report | Passenger & Commercial Check VIN Decoder
Dongfeng Motor Corporation is one of China's largest automakers, producing passenger cars, SUVs, EVs, and commercial vehicles. Dongfeng owns the Fengshen, Fengxing, and Voyah brands, and operates JVs with Nissan, Honda, and Kia. Our decoder provides access to Chinese databases no other service can reach:
Engine, body style, drivetrain, trim for all Dongfeng and Voyah models
Factory in Wuhan, Shiyan, or other Dongfeng plants — encoded in the VIN
Position 10 reveals model year (N=2022, P=2023, R=2024, S=2025, T=2026)
Chinese traffic authority records and insurance claims — unavailable on Carfax
Previous owners, registration history, transfer dates
Cross-referenced against the SAMR recall database
Every Dongfeng vehicle — whether a Fengshen sedan, Voyah EV, DFSK mini truck, or Forthing SUV — has a unique 17-character VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Follow these six steps to decode your Dongfeng VIN and access the full vehicle history from Chinese government databases.
Locate the 17-character VIN on the dashboard (driver side), the B-pillar door sticker, or your vehicle registration documents. All Dongfeng vehicles — including DFSK vans, Voyah EVs, and Forthing SUVs — use standard VIN placement.
Type or paste all 17 characters into the Dongfeng VIN decoder at the top of this page. Double-check for common mix-ups: the letter O vs zero (0), and the letter I vs number 1.
Characters 1–3 reveal the sub-brand: LGJ = Dongfeng Fengshen (Wuhan), LGG = Dongfeng Fengxing, LGD = Dongfeng commercial trucks. DFSK mini trucks and vans use separate WMI codes assigned to Dongfeng Sokon.
Positions 4–8 reveal the model (AX7, 580, Voyah Free, DFSK K05, etc.), body style, engine or battery type, and trim level. Position 10 gives you the model year.
Your free Dongfeng VIN check shows basic specs, factory of origin, and model year. This covers all Dongfeng brands — Fengshen, Fengxing, Voyah, Forthing, Aeolus, and DFSK commercial vehicles.
Upgrade for the complete Dongfeng vehicle history: accident records from Chinese traffic authorities, ownership transfers, insurance claims, recall status, and odometer verification — data unavailable through any Western VIN checker.
Dongfeng vehicles are exported to over 70 countries across Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America. A VIN history check reveals accident damage, odometer rollbacks, and recall issues that sellers may not disclose — especially for used DFSK vans, Dongfeng trucks, and Voyah EVs imported from China.

In Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and CIS countries, the VIN is often called a chassis number or frame number. For all Dongfeng vehicles — including DFSK vans, Voyah EVs, and Forthing SUVs — the VIN and chassis number are the same 17-character code. Whether your paperwork says "VIN," "chassis number," or "frame number," use it in our decoder above.

Every Dongfeng vehicle has the VIN stamped or printed in multiple locations. Here are the four universal VIN placement spots that apply to all Dongfeng, DFSK, Voyah, and Forthing vehicles.
Look through the windshield from outside the vehicle, driver's side. The VIN plate is mounted on top of the dashboard, visible through the glass. This is the standard location used by traffic police and inspection stations worldwide.
Open the driver's door and check the B-pillar (the post between front and rear doors). The manufacturer's sticker shows the VIN along with tire pressure specs, paint code, and gross vehicle weight.
Open the hood and look at the firewall (the metal wall between the engine compartment and cabin). The VIN is stamped directly into the metal — this is the stamped chassis number that cannot be easily replaced.
The VIN appears on your vehicle registration certificate, insurance documents, and the original purchase invoice. For imported Dongfeng vehicles, it's also on the customs declaration form.
Primary: Dashboard VIN plate (driver side, visible through windshield)
Stamped: Under the front passenger seat — lift the seat to find the stamped chassis number on the floor pan
Digital: Infotainment system > Vehicle Info > displays full VIN and battery pack serial number
Primary: Dashboard VIN plate (driver side)
Stamped: Right front wheel arch — on the inner fender, stamped into the frame. For K05/K07 mini trucks, also check the chassis rail near the front axle
Tip: DFSK vans and mini trucks used commercially often have the VIN obscured by dirt — clean the area before reading
Primary: Dashboard VIN plate + B-pillar sticker (standard locations)
Stamped: Engine bay firewall, right side — stamped directly into the metal
Note: Forthing models share the same VIN placement as older Dongfeng Fengxing vehicles
Primary: Dashboard VIN plate + B-pillar door sticker
Stamped: Engine bay firewall, passenger side — stamped into the bulkhead
Note: Aeolus sedans (Yixuan/Huge) have an additional VIN sticker inside the trunk lid
Voyah's mobile app shows VIN, battery health, and service history under "My Vehicle" — requires Voyah account linked to the vehicle
Most 2020+ Dongfeng models display VIN in Settings > About Vehicle or Vehicle Info screen — Voyah, Aeolus, and Forthing all support this
Plug into the OBD-II port (under the dashboard, driver side) to read VIN electronically — works on all Dongfeng vehicles 2008 and newer
Dongfeng's connected car platform for Aeolus and Forthing models — shows VIN, mileage, and maintenance alerts after vehicle binding
When inspecting a used Dongfeng, DFSK, or Voyah vehicle, verify the VIN in multiple locations to confirm they all match:
Position 10 of every Dongfeng VIN encodes the model year. This is critical for verifying seller claims on exported Dongfeng, DFSK, and Voyah vehicles — especially in markets where odometer rollback and year misrepresentation are common.
| VIN Character | Model Year | Dongfeng Models in Production |
|---|---|---|
| M | 2021 | DFSK Glory 580, AX7 Pro, Aeolus Yixuan launched |
| N | 2022 | Voyah Free & Dreamer launched, Mengshi 917 debut |
| P | 2023 | Voyah Passion sedan, Forthing T5 EVO refresh, DFSK K05/K07 updates |
| R | 2024 | Voyah Courage SUV, Dongfeng Box EV, Aeolus L7 EV sedan |
| S | 2025 | Dongfeng eπ 007, Voyah Zhiyin, Forthing S7 EV |
| T | 2026 | Current production year — newest Dongfeng vehicles |
Finding the correct replacement parts for Dongfeng vehicles can be challenging outside China. Here's a step-by-step process using your VIN to ensure exact part matching.
Use our decoder above to identify the exact model, engine type, and production year. Dongfeng uses different part numbers for the same model across production years — a 2023 DFSK Glory 580 (VIN position 10 = P) uses different brake components than a 2024 model (R).
Dongfeng parts catalogs are split by sub-brand. Voyah parts use the "Voyah Genuine" catalog, DFSK uses "Dongfeng Sokon" parts numbers, and Aeolus/Forthing use the main Dongfeng passenger vehicle catalog. The WMI code (positions 1–3) tells you which catalog to search.
Chinese platforms like CNAUTOPARTS, 1688.com, and Taobao Auto allow VIN-based parts search for Dongfeng vehicles. Enter the full 17-character VIN to get exact part numbers. For DFSK commercial vehicles, also check Alibaba.com where exporters list parts by VIN compatibility.
Genuine parts carry the Dongfeng holographic sticker and use the "1106" prefix for Dongfeng group part numbers. Voyah OEM parts use a separate "V-" prefix. DFSK genuine parts use "DK" prefix numbers.
Best for: Engine internals, transmission components, Voyah EV battery modules, safety-critical parts (brakes, steering, airbags)
DFSK commercial vehicles (K05, K07, C37) have wide aftermarket availability because they share many parts with other Chinese mini trucks. Aeolus and Forthing suspension and brake parts often cross-reference with Nissan/PSA equivalents from the joint ventures.
Best for: Filters, brake pads, suspension bushings, body panels, lighting — especially for DFSK commercial vehicles in Africa and Middle East
A "Dongfeng 580" could be a DFSK Glory 580 (WMI: LGXC) or an older Dongfeng Fengxing 580 (WMI: LGG). They share the name but use completely different parts. Always verify the WMI code before ordering.
Dongfeng frequently updates components mid-production year. A DFSK K05 built in January 2024 may use different alternator specs than one built in September 2024. The production sequence number (VIN positions 12–17) helps narrow the exact build date.
Voyah battery modules, electric motors, and power electronics are not interchangeable across models (Free vs Dreamer vs Passion). Each uses a different battery pack architecture despite sharing the Dongfeng SEA platform.
DFSK vehicles exported to Africa and the Middle East often have different suspension, cooling, and electrical specifications than Chinese domestic models. Parts from Chinese-spec vehicles may not fit export models — decode both VINs to compare.
A buyer in Egypt ordered front struts for a 2024 DFSK Glory 580 (VIN: LGXCE56A3R...). The parts didn't fit because the vehicle was an export-spec model with raised suspension for rough roads, while the parts were for the Chinese domestic version with standard ride height. Decoding the full VIN revealed the VDS section (positions 4–8) encoded a different suspension variant. Always match the complete VDS code, not just the model name.

Yes. DFSK (Dongfeng Sokon) vehicles use WMI codes LGXC and LZGC, both manufactured in Chongqing. Our decoder supports all DFSK models including K05, K07, C37, Glory 580, and Glory 560. The VIN and chassis number are the same 17-character code — enter either into our decoder above.
Yes. Voyah is Dongfeng's premium EV brand, sharing the LGJ WMI code with other Dongfeng Wuhan-built vehicles. We decode all Voyah models: Voyah Free (SUV), Voyah Dreamer (MPV), Voyah Passion (sedan), and Voyah Courage — including battery pack details, motor configuration, and production date.
Decode your VIN first to identify the exact sub-brand and model variant. Dongfeng parts catalogs are split by sub-brand: Voyah uses 'V-' prefix part numbers, DFSK uses 'DK' prefix, and Aeolus/Forthing use main Dongfeng '1106' prefix numbers. Search Chinese parts platforms like 1688.com or Alibaba.com using your full 17-character VIN for exact part matching.
