Enter the 17-character VIN of an Opel Rekord and the free decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture from it, with no registration. Our data lists 10 versions, from the Opel Rekord P1 (Olympia) and Opel Rekord B Coupe to the Opel Rekord E Caravan (facelift 1982). Model years run from 1957 to 1986, bodies are Coupe, Sedan and Wagon, and power ranges from 50 to 115 hp.
The VIN holds no accidents, mileage, theft or owners; that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the decoded model year and country with the papers and with what the seller tells you.

Our data lists model years 1957 - 1986 across 10 versions of the Opel Rekord. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
10 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 115 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives the manufacturer, model year and country, not a version name such as Opel Rekord D Caravan. Use the decoded model year together with the body style (Coupe, Sedan or Wagon) and the version named in the registration papers. Note that 17-character VINs apply to cars built since 1981, so earlier Rekords may carry a different format.
Check that all 17 characters match exactly between the plate or stamped VIN and the registration papers. Then see whether the model year in the tenth position fits the year given in the documents. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so one of them points to a misread or a typing error.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not state the power output of a particular car, even though our data for the model spans 50 to 115 hp.
