Production years of the car SsangYong Korando in our data: 1982 - present. Body styles: SUV. Power: 220 hp. Versions in our data: 7. What a VIN shows: the producer, the model year, the country of manufacture and, when it is coded, the plant. The last six characters are just the serial number.

Do not expect the free decoder to show accident damage, odometer history, theft status or past owners; the 17 characters simply do not carry them. For those you need a paid vehicle history report.
