Enter the 17-character VIN of a Chevrolet Cruze and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data for the Cruze spans model years 2009 to 2019, the body styles Sedan, Hatchback and Wagon, and power from 100 to 163 hp across nine versions.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the decoded model year and the body style with the listing and the registration papers, and check that the VIN on the car matches the documents character for character.

Read all 17 characters and confirm they match the registration papers exactly. Remember that the letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so one of those in a printed number points to a misread or a mistake. Then check that the model year the decoder shows is consistent with the year in the documents.
It reads only the VIN, so you get the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture, not the accident record, mileage, theft status or owners. It also does not show engine power, which in our data runs from 100 to 163 hp, so take that figure from the registration documents.
