Enter the 17-character VIN of a Maybach and the decoder reads what is built into the number itself: the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. Our data for the brand lists six models, among them the 57, 57 S, 62, 62 S, Landaulet and Zeppelin, in Sedan and Cabriolet body styles.
The decoder does not show accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners, because none of that is stored in a VIN. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report.
A modern VIN has 17 characters and never uses the letters I, O or Q. The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer and the country. Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, character 9 is the check digit, character 10 is the model year, character 11 is the plant and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number. The 17-character format applies to cars built since 1981, so that is the range the decoder can read, even though our version data for the brand reaches back to 1930.
At the moment we have no WMI codes mapped to Maybach, so we cannot list example codes or countries for the brand here. That is a limit of our list, not a statement about your car. A VIN that starts with other characters is not wrong because of it.
The model year character is easier to use as an example. In the later part of the range, a 5 in position 10 stands for 2005, and a D stands for 2013, the last model year in our data. Check position 10 of your VIN against the year in the registration papers. Remember that position 9 is a required check digit in North America, while many European VINs fill it differently.
Every VIN has six parts. This is what each of them means.
| Part | Characters | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| WMI | 1 to 3 | World manufacturer identifier: who built the vehicle and where |
| VDS | 4 to 8 | Vehicle descriptor: model, body type and engine, as set by the manufacturer |
| Check digit | 9 | Control value that helps confirm the VIN is valid |
| Model year | 10 | Code for the model year |
| Plant | 11 | Code for the assembly plant |
| Serial | 12 to 17 | Production sequence number of this vehicle |

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.

Look for the 17-character number on the registration papers first, then compare it with the plate or stamping on the car itself. The two should match exactly, character for character.
The first three characters are the WMI, which names the manufacturer and country. We currently have no WMI codes mapped to Maybach, so we cannot list any here. Our list is not complete, and a VIN with other starting characters is not a reason for concern.
Read character 10. For example, 5 means 2005 and D means 2013. This works for cars built since 1981, the period in which the 17-character VIN is used.
It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft or owners, since a VIN does not contain them. It also does not tell you about the condition of a particular car, only what the number encodes.
Make sure the VIN on the car, the papers and any listing are identical, and that the model year character fits the year being advertised. Then check that the body style, Sedan or Cabriolet, and the model name, such as 57, 62 or Landaulet, match what the seller describes.
