Every Mazda CX-30 (2020–2024) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 3MV WMI. The CX-30 is a gas SUV; this page shows what each character of a Mazda CX-30 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 CX-30.
Each sample below is built from the real 3MV WMI and the CX-30's descriptor, so it decodes to a Mazda CX-30 of the right model year:

Worked on the sample 3MVDMBCM2LM755148 — a 2020 Mazda CX-30:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | 3MV | Marks the VIN as Mazda, built in Mexico |
| 4–8 | VDS | DMBCM | Descriptor for the CX-30 — SUV body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 2 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | L | Code L = 2020 |
| 11 | Plant | M | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 755148 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Mazda CX-30 VIN read 3MV — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Mazda, assembled in Mexico (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (DMBCM in our seed) describe the CX-30 itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the CX-30, 2020 is code L and 2024 is code R. See the 2024 year code or the check-digit math.

A Mazda CX-30 VIN is 17 characters starting with the 3MV WMI, for example 3MVDMBCM2LM755148. Positions 4–8 describe the CX-30, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 3MV is the Mazda WMI, positions 4–8 are the CX-30 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 CX-30 in our seed uses the 3MV WMI (Mexico). Any VIN beginning with 3MV decodes to Mazda.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Mazda 3MV WMI, and carry the CX-30's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Mazda CX-30. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
