About the Opel Corsa

Enter the 17-character VIN of an Opel Corsa and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data for the Corsa covers 19 versions, for example Opel Corsa A, Opel Corsa B Kasten, Opel Corsa C (facelift 2003) and Opel Corsa D 3-door. Model years run from 1982 to 2024, the body styles are Hatchback, Sedan and Wagon, and power ranges from 45 to 207 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. When you are looking at a car, compare the VIN on the car with the one in the registration papers, and check that the decoded model year and the body style match what the seller says.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Opel Corsa built?

Our data lists model years 1982 - 2024 across 19 versions of the Opel Corsa. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

Which VIN character shows the model year of a Opel Corsa?

It is the 10th character. For the Opel Corsa the characters to expect are 1 (2001), 2 (2002), 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).

How many versions of the Opel Corsa are in your data?

19 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 207 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

How can I tell which Opel Corsa version a car is from its VIN?

The decoder gives the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture, not the version name. Use the model year together with the body style, then match the car against version names in our list, such as Opel Corsa C or Opel Corsa C (facelift 2003), and confirm it in the registration document.

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

All 17 characters should match exactly, and the model year character in position 10 should fit the year stated for the car. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if one appears, a character was misread or the number is wrong.

What will the decoder not tell me about an Opel Corsa?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also reads only the manufacturer, model year and country, so it will not tell you the exact power output, which in our data spans 45 to 207 hp across versions.
