Every Nissan Rogue (2015–2020) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the JN8 WMI. The Rogue is a gas SUV; this page shows what each character of a Nissan Rogue 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 Rogue.
Each sample below is built from the real JN8 WMI and the Rogue's descriptor, so it decodes to a Nissan Rogue of the right model year:

Worked on the sample JN8AT2MV1FW167958 — a 2015 Nissan Rogue:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | JN8 | Marks the VIN as Nissan, built in Japan |
| 4–8 | VDS | AT2MV | Descriptor for the Rogue — SUV body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 1 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | F | Code F = 2015 |
| 11 | Plant | W | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 167958 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Nissan Rogue VIN read JN8 — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Nissan, assembled in Japan (Asia). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (AT2MV in our seed) describe the Rogue itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Rogue, 2015 is code F and 2020 is code L. See the 2020 year code or the check-digit math.

A Nissan Rogue VIN is 17 characters starting with the JN8 WMI, for example JN8AT2MV1FW167958. Positions 4–8 describe the Rogue, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: JN8 is the Nissan WMI, positions 4–8 are the Rogue 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 Rogue in our seed uses the JN8 WMI (Japan). Any VIN beginning with JN8 decodes to Nissan.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Nissan JN8 WMI, and carry the Rogue's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Nissan Rogue. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
