Enter a 17-character VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture for that Peugeot 308. Our data lists 12 versions of the 308, from the Peugeot 308 I (Phase I, 2007) up to the Peugeot 308 III and Peugeot 308 SW III (Phase I, 2021), and model years run from 2007 to the present day. Body styles in the data are convertible, coupe, hatchback and wagon, with power from 82 to 270 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot speak to any of those. On a car you are looking at, compare the decoded model year and manufacturer with the registration papers and the number on the car, and if you want the car's past, that information comes from a paid vehicle history report.
