Enter the 17 characters of a Bentley Continental VIN and the free decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, with no registration needed. Our data for the Continental covers 14 versions, from the plain Bentley Continental to the Continental GT IV and the Continental GTC IV, with model years from 1984 to 2024, Convertible and Sedan bodies, and power from 240 to 710 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the VIN on the car with the one in the registration papers, and check that the decoded model year fits the version, body style and power the seller describes.

Our data lists model years 1984 - 2024 across 14 versions of the Bentley Continental. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
It is the 10th character. For the Bentley Continental the characters to expect are 1 (2001), 2 (2002), 3 (2003), 4 (2004), 5 (2005), 6 (2006), 7 (2007), 8 (2008), 9 (2009), A (2010), B (2011), C (2012), D (2013), E (2014), F (2015), G (2016), H (2017), J (2018), K (2019), L (2020), M (2021), N (2022), P (2023), R (2024).
14 versions, in 2 body styles, with power up to 710 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
Decode the VIN to get the model year and country of manufacture, then match that year to the version name in the papers, such as Continental GT II, Continental GTC III or Continental Flying Spur. The tenth character is the model year, so a version name that does not fit the decoded year is worth questioning.
All 17 characters must be identical, and none of them should be I, O or Q. Also check that the first three characters (the manufacturer code) and the tenth character (the model year) agree with what the registration papers state. On many European VINs the ninth character is filled differently from North America, so a odd-looking check digit is not a fault on its own.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also cannot say whether a car is the 240 hp or the 710 hp end of the range, so confirm power and body style, Convertible or Sedan, from the documents and the car itself.
