About the Opel Insignia

Enter the 17-character VIN of an Opel Insignia and the free decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, with no registration needed. Our data covers 12 versions of the Insignia, from model year 2008 to the present, since it is still built. Body styles are Wagon, Hatchback and Sedan, and power runs from 110 to 325 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot say anything about those, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the decoded model year and manufacturer with the advert, the registration papers and the VIN on the car itself.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Opel Insignia built?

Our data lists model years 2008 - present across 12 versions of the Opel Insignia. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

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

It is the 10th character. For the Opel Insignia the characters to expect are 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).

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

12 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 325 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

How can I confirm which Opel Insignia version a car is from its VIN?

The decoder gives you the model year, which is the first clue. Our data lists versions such as the Sports Tourer (A, facelift 2013) and the Grand Sport (B, facelift 2020), so match the decoded year and the body of the car against those names. The decoder itself does not name the version.

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

The VIN on the car, the one in the registration papers and the one in the listing should match character for character. A VIN never contains the letters I, O or Q, so one that does has been misread or copied wrongly. Also check that the model year the decoder shows fits the car and the paperwork.

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

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because a VIN does not hold that information. It also does not state the power of the car, which in our data ranges from 110 to 325 hp across versions, so check that in the registration document.
