How can I tell when my car was built. The sticker on the door pillar does not say as far as I can tell.

Just loads of numbers and letters on it, but nothing that looks like a build date.

Tried googling for Hyundai vin numbers, but they do not seem to work for the Czech built cars.

There are web sites that explains how to decipher the VIN number.  I come accross 1 for Hy cars but can't find it at the moment.

Try these for starters:

As far as I remember it only tells you the model year not when actually built.
