Enter the 17 characters of a Hyundai i20 VIN and the free decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, with no registration needed. Our data for the i20 covers model years 2009 to 2024, hatchback and coupe bodies, and power from 75 to 204 hp across 10 versions, from the i20 I (PB) to the i20 III (facelift 2023).
A VIN does not hold accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot speak to any of that. On a car you are considering, check that the VIN on the car matches the registration document character for character, and that the decoded model year fits the version being advertised. Anything about the car's past comes from a paid vehicle history report.

Our data lists model years 2009 - 2024 across 10 versions of the Hyundai i20. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
It is the 10th character. For the Hyundai i20 the characters to expect are 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).

The decoder gives you the model year, which you can set against version names such as i20 II (GB), i20 II (GB facelift 2018) or i20 III (facelift 2023). It does not name the version itself, so confirm it against the registration document and the seller's description.
Check that all 17 characters are identical on the car and on the paperwork, and remember that I, O and Q never appear in a VIN. The tenth character shows the model year, which can differ from the year of first registration, so treat a gap as a question to ask rather than proof of a problem.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not tell you the exact power output or body style of the car, so check those on the documents.
