About the Renault Laguna

Enter the 17-character VIN of a Renault Laguna and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. Our data lists 10 versions, from the plain Renault Laguna and Laguna Coupe to the Laguna III Grandtour (Phase II), with model years from 1993 to 2015, Hatchback, Coupe and Wagon bodies, and power from 82 to 238 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so none of that appears in the result. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report, and on the car itself you should check that the VIN on the plate matches the registration documents and that the model year falls inside the 1993 to 2015 range.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Renault Laguna built?

Which VIN character shows the model year of a Renault Laguna?

It is the 10th character. For the Renault Laguna the characters to expect are P (1993), R (1994), S (1995), T (1996), V (1997), W (1998), X (1999), Y (2000), 1 (2001), 2 (2002), 3 (2003), 4 (2004), 5 (2005), 6 (2006), 7 (2007), 8 (2008), 9 (2009), A (2010), B (2011), C (2012), D (2013), E (2014), F (2015).

How many versions of the Renault Laguna are in your data?

10 versions, in 3 body styles, with power up to 238 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

How can I confirm which Renault Laguna version a car is from its VIN?

The decoder gives you the model year, which comes from the 10th character, and you can compare it with the 1993 to 2015 range in our data. It does not name the version, so match the body style (Hatchback, Coupe or Wagon) and the version name on the registration papers, such as Grandtour or Coupe.

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

Read all 17 characters in order and check they match the registration papers exactly. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if one appears, something was misread or mistyped. The model year and country of manufacture from the decoder should also fit what the documents say.

What will the decoder not tell me about a Laguna?

It reads only the VIN, so it shows the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture and nothing more. It cannot tell you about accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, and it does not state the exact power of a particular car within the 82 to 238 hp range in our data.
