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

Worked on the sample SCATV0C03MA168877 — a 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | SCA | Marks the VIN as Rolls-Royce, built in United Kingdom |
| 4–8 | VDS | TV0C0 | Descriptor for the Ghost — sedan body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 3 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | M | Code M = 2021 |
| 11 | Plant | A | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 168877 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Rolls-Royce Ghost VIN read SCA — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Rolls-Royce, assembled in United Kingdom (Europe). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (TV0C0 in our seed) describe the Ghost itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Ghost, 2021 is code M and 2024 is code R. See the 2024 year code or the check-digit math.
A Rolls-Royce Ghost VIN is 17 characters starting with the SCA WMI, for example SCATV0C03MA168877. Positions 4–8 describe the Ghost, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: SCA is the Rolls-Royce WMI, positions 4–8 are the Ghost 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 Ghost in our seed uses the SCA WMI (United Kingdom). Any VIN beginning with SCA decodes to Rolls-Royce.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Rolls-Royce SCA WMI, and carry the Ghost's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Rolls-Royce Ghost. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
