Common Lexus / Toyota WMI prefixes (VIN positions 1–3)
| WMI prefix | What it identifies |

| JTH | Lexus car, built in Japan |
| JTJ | Lexus SUV, built in Japan |
| 2T2 | Lexus SUV (RX), built in Canada |
| 58A | Lexus car (ES), built in the USA |
How a Lexus VIN breaks down
Lexus is Toyota's luxury division, so its VINs follow Toyota's structure under the 17-character ISO 3779 standard. Positions 1–3 are the World Manufacturer Identifier — a Japan-built Lexus car commonly opens JTH, a Japan-built SUV JTJ, and a Canada-built RX 2T2. Positions 4–8 encode the model line, body and engine; position 9 is the check digit; position 10 the model year; position 11 the plant; and 12–17 the sequential build number.
Because the engine and trim are described in positions 4–8, two same-year RX or ES models can carry different descriptor characters depending on hybrid vs gas powertrain and trim.
Decode vs. history: what the VIN can and can't tell you
Decoding a Lexus VIN reveals the factory build — year, engine, plant and trim. It won't show what happened after the sale. For salvage, accident, flood and odometer brands, run the same VIN through a history report drawing on NMVTIS and state-DMV records.
