Hi Lucy,
I came across this term myself a couple of weeks ago. I'd just bought a new car, but before the insurance company would provide cover, they needed to know not just the vehicle details and the registration number, but also the 'meldcode'. This serves as a sort of cross-check for discrepancies between the vehicle details provided by the customer and those recorded in the national vehicle database. The last 8 characters of a VIN uniquely identify a vehicle; the last 4 characters (always digits) provide insurers or other interested parties with enough information for a positive confirmation. |
