Enter a 17-character VIN and the decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture for your Mitsubishi Galant. It is free and needs no registration. Our data for the Galant covers 13 versions, from Mitsubishi Galant III to Mitsubishi Galant IX, with model years from 1976 to 2008, Sedan, Wagon and Hatchback bodies, and power from 75 to 280 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 one in the papers, and check that the model year and body style fit what is being sold.

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.

Our data lists model years 1976 - 2008 across 13 versions of the Mitsubishi Galant. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
13 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 280 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The 10th character of the VIN gives the model year, and the decoder also shows the manufacturer and the country of manufacture. Compare the year and the body style (Sedan, Wagon or Hatchback) with the version names in our data, such as Mitsubishi Galant VI Hatchback or Mitsubishi Galant VII Wagon.
All 17 characters should be identical on the car and in the registration papers. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so any of them points to a misread or a faulty entry. The model year and the country of manufacture shown by the decoder should also fit the papers.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of these are stored in the VIN itself. It also cannot tell you the condition of the car. The decoder reads only the characters of the number.
