Every Nissan Murano (2019–2024) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 5N1 WMI. The Murano is a gas SUV; this page shows what each character of a Nissan Murano 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 Murano.
Each sample below is built from the real 5N1 WMI and the Murano's descriptor, so it decodes to a Nissan Murano of the right model year:

Worked on the sample 5N1AZ2MG3KN630643 — a 2019 Nissan Murano:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | 5N1 | Marks the VIN as Nissan, built in United States |
| 4–8 | VDS | AZ2MG | Descriptor for the Murano — SUV body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 3 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | K | Code K = 2019 |
| 11 | Plant | N | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 630643 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Nissan Murano VIN read 5N1 — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Nissan, assembled in United States (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (AZ2MG in our seed) describe the Murano itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Murano, 2019 is code K and 2024 is code R. See the 2024 year code or the check-digit math.

A Nissan Murano VIN is 17 characters starting with the 5N1 WMI, for example 5N1AZ2MG3KN630643. Positions 4–8 describe the Murano, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 5N1 is the Nissan WMI, positions 4–8 are the Murano 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 Murano in our seed uses the 5N1 WMI (United States). Any VIN beginning with 5N1 decodes to Nissan.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Nissan 5N1 WMI, and carry the Murano's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Nissan Murano. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
