Microcat by VIN — find Ford parts from the VIN
Enter a Ford VIN and Microcat resolves the exact factory build, then shows only the genuine OEM parts that fit. Decode any VIN free, then open the full catalog online.
Why search Microcat by VIN?
A 17-character VIN is the most precise key into the catalog. Ford builds the same model in many variants across markets and model years; the VIN encodes exactly which one you have. Microcat filters the entire parts tree down to the components actually fitted to that vehicle — so the part you read off is the right one the first time.
