Toyota parts by VIN: how to find the right part number

To order Toyota parts on Speero, give the VIN to the dealer's parts department to identify the correct part number. It is a 17-character number that can be used to check the model, the model year, the engine and the assembly plant. The VIN helps identify the factory specification, but it does not guarantee fitment alone; confirm the part number and trim before ordering. Speero lists Toyota spare parts filtered by model and year, and the VIN helps you check which model and year to pick.

Why does the VIN matter for Toyota in particular?

When choosing Toyota parts on Speero, note that Toyota sells the same model in Saudi Arabia in more than one specification. The Camry comes with a 4-cylinder and a 6-cylinder engine. The Hilux comes in petrol and diesel, with cab styles and drivetrains varying by grade. The Land Cruiser comes in several grades. A part that fits one grade may not fit another, even in the same year.

The VIN helps the dealer's parts department look up your car's specification as it left the factory.

Where do I find the VIN on my Toyota?

Before ordering Toyota parts from Speero, find the VIN in these four places:

• The registration card: in the "chassis number" field, the easiest place.
• The base of the windscreen on the driver's side, visible from outside the car.
• The door pillar on the driver's side, on the factory label.
• Absher: in the vehicle details under vehicle services.

How do I read the VIN?

To search for your car's parts on Speero, you do not need to decode every character, but some are useful:

• Characters 1 to 3: the manufacturer and country of build. A VIN starting with J means built in Japan.
• Characters 4 to 8: model, engine and body details.
• Character 10: the model year in markets that use this coding. Examples include A for 2010, B for 2011, L for 2020 and R for 2024, but codes repeat and do not identify the year on their own.
• The last 6 characters: the car's serial number.

Some Toyotas imported from certain markets do not follow the same year coding. If you are not sure, rely on the model year printed on the registration card. The model year is not necessarily the year the car was built.

How do I order Toyota parts by VIN on Speero?

Speero arranges the order in four steps:

1. 1Open the Toyota spare parts page and pick your model, or start from the model page directly, such as Camry, Corolla or Hilux.
2. 2Set the model year after confirming it in the vehicle details, and the parts filter down.
3. 3If the part has more than one number, compare the part number on its page with the number confirmed by the dealer, or the number printed on the old part if it is correct for the car.
4. 4Order from the part's page. Sellers on Speero deliver across Saudi Arabia in 2 to 4 business days, and returns are free within 7 days of delivery.

The general method for every make is in how to order spare parts by VIN.

When is the VIN alone not enough?

Before ordering on Speero, use the VIN to identify the factory specification, and check additional details in three cases:

• Parts that change by trim, such as headlights (halogen or LED) and mirrors (electric or manual).
• Modified cars whose engine or exterior has been changed.
• Consumables such as brake pads and filters, when more than one part specification is listed for the same model and year.

In these cases match the old part's number with the part number on its page, and confirm that its specification is correct for the car before you order.

How do I search by part number when I have the old part?

Speero lets you search by part number: the VIN identifies your car; the part number identifies the part itself, and it is the most precise thing you can search by. If the old part is in your hand, or you can see it fitted, it usually carries a printed or stamped number. Genuine Toyota part numbers are usually 10 characters, such as 0446560370 for a front brake pad kit.

Type that number into the search box on Speero, and check the available results and compatibility details before ordering. Three tips save you time. Type the number without hyphens or spaces, because some parts carry a hyphen after the first five characters. If nothing comes up, try the first five characters to broaden the search, because they usually identify the type of part, but they do not establish fitment; confirm the full number and vehicle specification. And some parts have a newer number that replaces the old one. Ask the dealer's parts department to confirm the approved replacement number for your car rather than assuming that any newer number fits in place of the old.

What goes wrong without the VIN?

A mistake when ordering Toyota parts on Speero is ordering on model and year alone, and the part turns out not to fit. Four examples:

Camry 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder: same year and same body, but the radiator, belts, filters and some suspension parts differ between the two engines.

Hilux petrol and diesel: filters, injectors and some cooling parts differ, and cab styles and drivetrains vary by grade.

Land Cruiser grades: shock absorbers, brakes and some suspension parts differ by grade.

Corolla before and after the facelift: within the same generation, the facelift changes bumpers, headlights and grille, so a part that fits a 2016 Corolla may not fit a 2018 Corolla.

In every one of these cases, the VIN helps look up the factory specification, but confirming fitment requires the correct part number for the trim and engine.

My car is imported from Japan and the number is short. What do I do?

When choosing Toyota parts on Speero, note that some cars imported directly from Japan, such as some Ist models, do not carry a 17-character VIN but a shorter frame number. In that case rely on the model year printed on the registration card when you pick the year on Speero, and match the old part's number with the part number on its page before you order.

Frequently asked questions

How many characters are in a VIN?

The VIN used to identify your car before ordering on Speero has 17 characters, letters and digits, and never uses the letters I, O and Q so they are not confused with 1 and 0.

Which VIN character gives the model year?

The tenth character indicates the model year in markets that use this coding; confirm the year before selecting it on Speero. Examples include A for 2010, L for 2020 and R for 2024, but codes repeat and are not enough on their own, and model year can differ from manufacturing year.

Can I search Speero by part number?

Yes, Speero accepts the part number in the search box. Type it without spaces or hyphens, and check the available results and compatibility details before ordering. You can also browse your model's parts from the Toyota page.

Where do I find the VIN if I lost the registration card?

Before ordering parts on Speero, look for the VIN at the base of the windscreen on the driver's side, on the door pillar, or in the vehicle details in Absher.

Is the VIN enough to order engine parts?

For engine parts on Speero, use the VIN to confirm the original engine specification and the required part number with the dealer's parts department. But if the car's engine has been swapped, confirm the replacement engine's specification and the correct part number for it.

Is the VIN the same as the chassis number?

For an order on Speero, use the vehicle identifier recorded on the registration card as the chassis number. This is usually a 17-character VIN, but some Japanese-market imports use a shorter frame number.

Can I order Lexus parts the same way?

Yes, Speero lists Lexus spare parts the same way. Use your Lexus VIN and vehicle details to confirm the part number; character coding depends on the model and market.
