Enter the 17 characters of an Opel Astra VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and with no registration. Our data covers 35 Astra versions, from Opel Astra F and Opel Astra F Cabrio to Opel Astra G Caravan (facelift 2002), with model years from 1991 to the present, since the model is still built. Body styles in the data are hatchback, convertible, wagon, sedan and coupe, and power runs from 57 to 330 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so none of that can be read from the decoder. On a car you are looking at, compare the decoded model year and country with the registration papers and the number on the car, and for the history behind the number you need a paid vehicle history report.

The VIN itself gives you the manufacturer, the model year (10th character) and the plant (11th character). Take the model year from the decoder, then match it against the version named in the registration document, such as Opel Astra F Caravan or Opel Astra G Cabrio, and against the body style of the car in front of you.
All 17 characters should match exactly between the plate, the number on the car and the registration papers. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if one appears, it is a misread or a mistake in the paperwork.
It reads only the VIN, so you get the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture. Accidents, mileage, theft and previous owners are not stored in a VIN and cannot be decoded from it.
