Every Ford Bronco Sport (2021–2024) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 3FM WMI. The Bronco Sport is a gas SUV; this page shows what each character of a Ford Bronco Sport 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 Bronco Sport.
Each sample below is built from the real 3FM WMI and the Bronco Sport's descriptor, so it decodes to a Ford Bronco Sport of the right model year:

| 12–17 | Serial | 483062 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Ford Bronco Sport VIN read 3FM — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Ford, assembled in Mexico (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (CR9B6 in our seed) describe the Bronco Sport itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Bronco Sport, 2021 is code M and 2024 is code R. See the 2024 year code or the check-digit math.

A Ford Bronco Sport VIN is 17 characters starting with the 3FM WMI, for example 3FMCR9B67M0483062. Positions 4–8 describe the Bronco Sport, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 3FM is the Ford WMI, positions 4–8 are the Bronco Sport 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 Bronco Sport in our seed uses the 3FM WMI (Mexico). Any VIN beginning with 3FM decodes to Ford.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Ford 3FM WMI, and carry the Bronco Sport's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Ford Bronco Sport. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
