The VIN numbers are only sequential in relation to the date that the car is actually assigned to each VIN number. The BUILD date can then vary and may not be in sequence.
I own a car that was delayed going into production so there are some cars with greater VIN numbers that got built before mine, if that makes sense
This can occur when something holds up production of a car after the VIN is assigned like an individual order. (no idea how common this is?)
So there may well be a car that was built after yours with a smaller number due to some type of delay.
