The decoder gives you the model year from the 10th character, which you can match against the versions in our data. The cab style and box length are not decoded from the VIN here, so check them on the truck itself and in the registration papers.
All 17 characters must match exactly, including the 10th character for model year and the 11th for plant. Letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if you see one, something was misread or the number is wrong. On North American trucks the 9th character is a check digit, so a mismatch there deserves a closer look.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. The decoder only reads the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture.
