Enter the 17-character VIN of a Mercedes-Benz Klasa A and the decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. Our data for this model covers 13 versions from model year 1997 to the present, in Sedan and Hatchback body styles, with power from 60 to 421 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot show any of that, and that kind of history comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, check that the VIN on the car matches the documents and that the decoded model year fits the version being offered.
