Every car Rover 800 carries a 17-character VIN, and the free decoder on this page turns it into the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for the model Rover 800 covers the years 1986 - 1999, with versions in our data: 3. Body styles: Sedan, Hatchback, Coupe; power: 200 hp. The first three characters identify the manufacturer and region, the 10th stands for the model year, and the 11th often marks the plant.
The decoder stays with the facts stored in the VIN itself. It cannot tell you about accidents, mileage, theft or owners, because that data is not part of the 17 characters. Look at the VIN of the car Rover 800 in more than one place. The number on the dashboard and the one on the door frame should agree with each other and with the paperwork.
