Mine is a 'B' therefore built in Chengdu.

Positions 1-3 are the World Manufacturer Identifier:
YV1 = Passenger Cars
YV2 = Trucks
YV3 = Buses
YV4 = Multipurpose Passenger Vehicle
YV5 = Trucks - Incomplete Vehicle
XLB = passenger cars built by Volvo Car BV / NedCar BV
LVY = Passenger Cars made in Daqing, China
LYV = Passenger Cars made in Chengdu & Luqiao District of Taizhou, China
PNV = Passenger Cars made in Malaysia
7JR = Passenger Cars made in USA
MHA = PT. Central Sole Agency
Mines a "1" so definitely Sweden
