Every Mitsubishi Mirage (2017–2023) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the ML3 WMI. The Mirage is a gas hatch; this page shows what each character of a Mitsubishi Mirage 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 Mirage.
Each sample below is built from the real ML3 WMI and the Mirage's descriptor, so it decodes to a Mitsubishi Mirage of the right model year:

Worked on the sample ML32A3HJ2H3939068 — a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | ML3 | Marks the VIN as Mitsubishi, built in Asia |
| 4–8 | VDS | 2A3HJ | Descriptor for the Mirage — hatch body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 2 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | H | Code H = 2017 |
| 11 | Plant | 3 | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 939068 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Mitsubishi Mirage VIN read ML3 — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Mitsubishi, assembled in Asia (Asia). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (2A3HJ in our seed) describe the Mirage itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Mirage, 2017 is code H and 2023 is code P. See the 2023 year code or the check-digit math.

A Mitsubishi Mirage VIN is 17 characters starting with the ML3 WMI, for example ML32A3HJ2H3939068. Positions 4–8 describe the Mirage, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: ML3 is the Mitsubishi WMI, positions 4–8 are the Mirage 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 Mirage in our seed uses the ML3 WMI (Asia). Any VIN beginning with ML3 decodes to Mitsubishi.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Mitsubishi ML3 WMI, and carry the Mirage's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Mitsubishi Mirage. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
