Enter the 17 characters of a Porsche 911 VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data lists 42 versions of the 911, among them the 964, 993, 996 (including the 2001 facelift), 997, 991 II and 992, with model years running from 1964 to the present because the car is still built. Body styles in our data are Cabriolet, Coupe, Convertible and Roadster, and power ranges from 110 to 700 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot show them; that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. When you look at a car, compare the VIN on the car with the one in the registration papers and the advert, and check that the model year fits the version and body style being offered.

A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.
Enter the 17-character VIN and see the factory basics in seconds.
Our data lists model years 1964 - present across 42 versions of the Porsche 911. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
42 versions, in 4 body styles, with power up to 700 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives you the model year from the tenth character, plus the manufacturer and country. Our data lists versions such as the 997 and the 997 facelift 2008 separately, so the model year is a useful first check, but the decoder does not name the version itself. Confirm it against the registration documents.
Read all 17 characters one by one and make sure they match exactly on the plate, in the registration papers and in the advert. The tenth character should agree with the model year stated, and the letters I, O and Q never appear in a real VIN, so one of those points to a misread or a mistake.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also reads only 17-character VINs, which are used for cars built since 1981, so an early 911 may not be covered.
