Enter the 17-character VIN of a Mercedes-Benz Klasa G and the free decoder reads three things: the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. No registration is needed. Our data lists 21 versions of the model, including Mercedes-Benz Klasa G Kabriolet (W460), Long (W461, facelift 2009) and 6x6 (W463), with model years from 1979 to the present and power from 72 to 630 hp. The body style in our data is Convertible.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot show them. On a car you are considering, check that the VIN on the plate matches the registration papers character for character, and that the model year fits the version named in the documents. If you also want the car's past, that information comes from a paid vehicle history report.

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.
Enter the 17-character VIN and see the factory basics in seconds.
Our data lists model years 1979 - present across 21 versions of the Mercedes-Benz Klasa G. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
21 versions, in 1 body style, with power up to 630 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
Start with the 10th character, which gives the model year, and the decoder shows it along with the manufacturer and country. Then compare that year with the version named in the registration document, for example Long (W463, facelift 2008) or Kabriolet (W463, facelift 2012). Our data covers 21 versions, so the year alone may not settle it.
The full 17 characters must match exactly. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if one appears, a character has probably been misread or the number is wrong. Also check that the model year decoded from the 10th character agrees with the year on the papers. Cars built before 1981 may not carry a 17-character VIN, which matters because our data starts in 1979.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It reads only the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture.
