Enter the 17-character VIN of a Renault Kangoo and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. Our data covers model years from 1997 to the present, since the Kangoo is still built, and lists 17 versions, from the Kangoo I (KC) and Kangoo I Express (FC) to the Kangoo II Express and the Grand Kangoo III. The body style in our data is Hatchback, and power runs from 55 to 130 hp.
A VIN does not hold accidents, mileage, theft or owner records, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the VIN on the plate with the one in the documents, and check that the model year fits the version named in the paperwork.
