Enter the 17-character VIN of an Audi 100 and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data for the Audi 100 covers model years 1968 to 1994, with Sedan, Wagon and Coupe bodies and power from 70 to 174 hp. It lists 13 versions, from the Audi 100 (C1) to the Audi 100 Avant (C3, Typ 44, 44Q, facelift 1988). Because 17-character VINs apply to cars built since 1981, the earliest cars in that range may not fit the decoder.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot speak to any of them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. When you look at a car, compare the decoded model year and country with the listing, and check that the body style and power match one of the versions above.

A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.
Enter the 17-character VIN and see the factory basics in seconds.
Our data lists model years 1968 - 1994 across 13 versions of the Audi 100. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
13 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 174 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives you the model year from the 10th character, and the version names in our data, such as C2 (Typ 43) or C3 (Typ 44, 44Q), are the next thing to match against. Compare that year, the body style (Sedan, Wagon or Coupe) and the power with the registration papers. Facelift versions are listed for 1973, 1979 and 1988, so a car from around those years deserves a closer look at the documents.
Every one of the 17 characters should be identical on the plate, the registration papers and the listing. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if one appears, something was misread or copied wrongly. Also check that the model year and country the decoder returns agree with what the seller tells you.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It reads only the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture. It does not confirm a car's exact power output or condition either.
