Enter the 17 characters of a Ford Fiesta VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and with no registration. Our data for the Fiesta covers model years 1976 to 2023, three body styles (Hatchback, Van and Sedan) and power from 40 to 200 hp, spread over 23 versions such as Ford Fiesta IV (Mk4) 3 door, Ford Fiesta VI (Mk6) 5 door and Ford Fiesta Active VIII (Mk8, facelift 2022). Keep in mind that 17-character VINs apply to cars built since 1981, so the oldest Fiestas may not carry one the decoder can read.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. When you are looking at a car, compare the decoded model year and country with the advert, then check that the VIN on the car matches the one in the paperwork.

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.

Our data lists model years 1976 - 2023 across 23 versions of the Ford Fiesta. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
23 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 200 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives you the model year from the 10th character, and that narrows the car down to the versions sold in that year, for example a Mk6 or a Mk8. Then compare the body style, such as 3 door or 5 door, and the version name in the documents with what you see on the car.
All 17 characters should be identical, in the same order, on the plate, on the car body where the VIN is stamped and in the registration papers. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if one appears, someone has misread or mistyped it.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or how many owners the car has had, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also reads only the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture, so engine power between 40 and 200 hp has to be checked in the documents.
