About the Rolls-Royce Phantom

Enter the 17-character VIN of a Rolls-Royce Phantom and the decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data covers 10 versions of the Phantom, from the Phantom VII and VIII to the Coupe and Drophead Coupe, with model years from 2003 to 2018. Bodies are listed as Coupe and Sedan, and power runs from 460 to 571 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, so the decode cannot speak to the condition of a particular car. On a car you are considering, check that the VIN on the vehicle matches the documents and that the decoded model year fits the version being advertised. Anything about the car's past comes from a paid vehicle history report.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Rolls-Royce Phantom built?

Our data lists model years 2003 - 2018 across 10 versions of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

Which VIN character shows the model year of a Rolls-Royce Phantom?

It is the 10th character. For the Rolls-Royce Phantom the characters to expect are 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), G (2016), H (2017), J (2018).

How many versions of the Rolls-Royce Phantom are in your data?

10 versions, in 2 body styles, with power up to 571 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

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

The decoder gives you the manufacturer, model year and country, and the model year is the tenth character. Compare that year with the version named in the listing, for example Phantom VII, Phantom VII (facelift 2012) or Phantom VIII Extended Wheelbase. The decode does not name the version itself, so the registration papers should settle any doubt.

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

All 17 characters should be identical on the car, in the registration papers and in the listing. I, O and Q never appear in a VIN, so if you see one, a character has probably been misread or mistyped. The model year and country from the decode should also agree with what the documents say.

What will the VIN decoder not tell me about a Phantom?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not confirm the body style or the power output, which in our data ranges from 460 to 571 hp. For those, rely on the documents and on inspecting the car.
