Type the 17 characters of a Mazda 6 VIN into the decoder and you get the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data for the Mazda 6 starts at model year 2002 and runs to the present, as the model is still built. It lists 18 versions in Wagon, Hatchback and Sedan bodies, with power from 120 to 272 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot show them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. When you look at a car, compare the VIN on the car with the VIN in the papers, and check that the model year and body style fit what the seller tells you.

Our data lists model years 2002 - present across 18 versions of the Mazda 6. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
It is the 10th character. For the Mazda 6 the characters to expect are 3 (2003), 4 (2004), 5 (2005), 6 (2006), 7 (2007), 8 (2008), 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), S (2025), T (2026).
18 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 272 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives you the model year, which narrows things down, but it does not name a version. Our data has 18 of them, such as Mazda 6 II Hatchback (GH) and Mazda 6 II Hatchback (GH, facelift 2010). Match the model year and the body style you can see (Wagon, Hatchback or Sedan) against the version name in the registration papers.
Read all 17 characters and check that they match exactly. A real VIN never contains the letters I, O or Q, so one of those is a warning sign. The tenth character stands for the model year, and it should agree with the year in the papers.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in a VIN. It also does not report the engine output, so the 120 to 272 hp range in our data is not something you can read off one VIN. Check the exact figure in the car's documents.
