Enter a 17-character VIN and the free decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, with no registration. For the Mercedes-Benz Klasa S our data covers 37 versions, from the Coupe (C126) and Sedan-style Long versions such as the V220, V221 and V222 to the Kabriolet (A217). Model years run from 1972 to the present, the body styles are Coupe, Convertible and Sedan, and power ranges from 121 to 630 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. 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 and body style the seller describes.

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 1972 - present across 37 versions of the Mercedes-Benz Klasa S. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
37 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 630 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives you the model year and the manufacturer, and the 10th character of the VIN is the model year code. Match that year against the version named in the registration papers, for example a C217 Coupe or a facelift 2017 car, and check the body style on the car itself. The VIN alone does not name the version.
All 17 characters must be identical on the plate, the car body and the registration papers. Letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if one appears, something has been misread or altered. Also check that the model year and country of manufacture from the decoder make sense for the car.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also cannot confirm the exact power output, which in our data runs from 121 to 630 hp across the versions. Cars built before 1981 may not have a 17-character VIN at all, and the decoder reads only 17-character VINs.
