The decoder gives you the model year, which sits in the 10th character of the VIN. Take that year and compare it, together with the body style and power in the registration papers, against version names such as Audi S4 Avant (B8, facelift 2011) or Audi S4 (8E,B7).
Read all 17 characters on the car and match them one by one with the registration papers. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so a character that looks like one of them has probably been misread. The model year and country of manufacture shown by the decoder should also agree with the papers.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in a VIN. It also reads only the VIN, so it cannot confirm where a particular car sits in the 230 to 354 hp range.
