About the Nissan Sunny

Enter the 17 characters of a Nissan Sunny VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data for the Sunny runs from model year 1970 to 2003 and covers Sedan, Coupe, Wagon and Hatchback bodies, with power from 54 to 230 hp across 15 versions. Cars built since 1981 carry a 17-character VIN, so an earlier Sunny will not give the decoder anything to read.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, so the decoder cannot speak to a car's past. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. When you are looking at a car, compare the decoded model year and country with the advert, then check that the body style and power match what the documents state.

Learn more about VINs

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.

Before you buy a used Nissan Sunny

  • Compare the VIN on the dashboard, the door frame and the documents. All three should match.
  • Look for signs of tampering around the VIN plate and the door frame sticker.
  • Ask for the service history and check it against the car.
  • Run a full history report to see recorded damage, mileage and theft records.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Nissan Sunny built?

Our data lists model years 1970 - 2003 across 15 versions of the Nissan Sunny. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

How many versions of the Nissan Sunny are in your data?

15 versions, in 4 body styles, with power up to 230 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

How can I confirm which Nissan Sunny version a car is from its VIN?

The decoder gives you the model year, manufacturer and country, which narrows the field. Our data lists versions such as Sunny I (B11), Sunny II (B12), Sunny II (N13), Sunny III (N14) and Sunny (B15), including Coupe, Wagon and Hatch variants. Match the decoded year and the car's body style against those names, then confirm in the registration papers.

What should I compare between the VIN plate and the documents?

Read all 17 characters on the plate and check that they match the registration papers exactly. Remember that I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so a letter that looks like one is probably a 1 or a 0. The 10th character stands for the model year and the 11th for the plant, so it is worth checking that they agree with the year in the paperwork.

What will the decoder not tell me about a Nissan Sunny?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft records or the number of owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also cannot tell you the condition of the car or confirm the power output, which in our data ranges from 54 to 230 hp depending on the version.
