Apologies if this has been discussed before but my searching didn't find anything, but then that's not saying much! Anyway, there's a vehicle plate / identification sticker inside the engine compartment and I was intrigued what the various codes were, is there anyway of decoding? Mines attached with hopefully the important bits masked out. Engine type is obvious, made in Austria was a surprise, I thought XC40 were made in Belgium and the date I presume is the build date?

The T4UVA headlight cover is made in Austria, not the whole car. The other numbers appear to be bulb and lighting specs. This is all about lights and not a vehicle ID sticker. It's stuck on a lighting system part isn't it?

Agreed - this is the part label for the headlamp assembly only

My mistake, I thought it was stuck on the plastic engine shroud but looking again it is actually on the light shroud, thanks for putting me right

I dont know about the XC40 but with other cars I've owned there was a label in the boot and the service book which provided details of the car with codes from which you could decipher the specification and options included.
