Enter the 17-character VIN of a Nissan Patrol and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, with no registration needed. Our data covers model years from 1980 to the present, as the model is still built, in two body styles: Wagon and SUV. Power in our data runs from 95 to 428 hp, and the 15 versions range from the Nissan Patrol Hardtop (K160) and Station Wagon (W260) to the Nissan Patrol VI (Y62).
A VIN holds no record of accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoded result is only a starting point, and that kind of information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the VIN on the car with the one in the registration documents, and check that the decoded model year fits the version and body style being advertised.

The 10th character of the VIN is the model year. For the Nissan Patrol, with model years 1980 - present in our data, these are the characters to expect. The letters repeat every 30 years, so always confirm the year against the car itself.
On the driver's side, visible through the windshield.
On a sticker on the door frame or the edge of the door.
Printed in the vehicle registration or title.
Stamped on the firewall or the frame on many models.
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 1980 - present across 15 versions of the Nissan Patrol. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
It is the 10th character. For the Nissan Patrol 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).
15 versions, in 2 body styles, with power up to 428 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives you the model year from the 10th character, which you can set against our version names, such as Y60, Y61 or the facelift 1995 and facelift 2004 labels. Then match the body, for example 3-door, 5-door, Hardtop or Station Wagon, to what you see on the car. The VIN alone will not settle it, so confirm with the registration documents.
All 17 characters should be identical, in the same order. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so one of those points to a misread or a typing error. The 9th character is a check digit that North American VINs must fill correctly, but many European VINs use it differently, so a odd-looking 9th character is not proof of a problem on its own.
It reads only the VIN, so you get the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture. It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also cannot tell you where a particular car sits within the 95 to 428 hp range in our data.
