About the Infiniti M

Enter the 17-character VIN of the car Infiniti M into the free decoder and it tells you the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. In our database the car Infiniti M covers 1989 - 2019. It has 5 versions in total, is offered as Coupe, Convertible, Sedan and lists power of 420 hp. The decoder reads the world manufacturer identifier in characters 1 to 3, the model year in character 10 and the plant in character 11 where one is coded.

Past damage, odometer values, theft records and the number of owners are not part of a VIN, so no decoder can read them from the code alone. A separate history check is needed for that. On a model Infiniti M you are considering, read the VIN on the car and then the VIN in the documents. They must match exactly, in all 17 characters.
