The VIN structure of MAZDA vehicles depends on the model, date and place of manufacture. Vehicles manufactured at FORD factories, as a rule, have the VIN structure of those FORD vehicles that are manufactured there as well. Some MAZDA vehicles VIN (first of all joint models like Ford Maverick / Mazda Tribute, which are also sold on the European market) can be checked in the form of online verification of VIN European FORD, where you can find out the production date, installed options and vehicle color.
