Every Alfa Romeo Giulia (2017–2023) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the ZAR WMI. The Giulia is a gas sedan; this page shows what each character of a Alfa Romeo Giulia VIN means and gives 4 checksum-valid sample VINs you can drop straight into test fixtures. Synthetic — not real: no scraping, no real-owner data. The generator below is pre-filtered to the Giulia.
Each sample below is built from the real ZAR WMI and the Giulia's descriptor, so it decodes to a Alfa Romeo Giulia of the right model year:

Worked on the sample ZARFAMBN9HN175438 — a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | ZAR | Marks the VIN as Alfa Romeo, built in Italy |
| 4–8 | VDS | FAMBN | Descriptor for the Giulia — sedan body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 9 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | H | Code H = 2017 |
| 11 | Plant | N | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 175438 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Alfa Romeo Giulia VIN read ZAR — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Alfa Romeo, assembled in Italy (Europe). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (FAMBN in our seed) describe the Giulia itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Giulia, 2017 is code H and 2023 is code P. See the 2023 year code or the check-digit math.
A Alfa Romeo Giulia VIN is 17 characters starting with the ZAR WMI, for example ZARFAMBN9HN175438. Positions 4–8 describe the Giulia, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: ZAR is the Alfa Romeo WMI, positions 4–8 are the Giulia descriptor, position 9 verifies the VIN via a mod-11 checksum, position 10 gives the year, position 11 the plant, and 12–17 the serial. Paste any VIN into the decoder to do it automatically.
The Giulia in our seed uses the ZAR WMI (Italy). Any VIN beginning with ZAR decodes to Alfa Romeo.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Alfa Romeo ZAR WMI, and carry the Giulia's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Alfa Romeo Giulia. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
