Enter the 17 characters of a Subaru Impreza VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data for the Impreza covers 20 versions, from Subaru Impreza I Coupe (GFC) and Subaru Impreza II Station Wagon (facelift 2005) to Subaru Impreza III Sedan and Subaru Impreza IV Hatchback. Model years run from 1992 to 2023, body styles are Coupe, Sedan, Wagon and Hatchback, and power ranges from 90 to 330 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decode cannot answer those questions; that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are viewing, check that the VIN on the car matches the registration papers character for character, and that the model year, body style and power in the papers fit what you decoded.

The decoder gives you the model year, manufacturer and country of manufacture, which narrows the field. Then compare that year with the body style (Coupe, Sedan, Wagon or Hatchback), the power figure and the version name in the registration documents, such as facelift 2002 or facelift 2005.
All 17 characters must be identical, and none of them should be I, O or Q. The 10th character stands for the model year and the 11th for the plant, so check those against the papers. The 9th is a check digit, required in North America, while many European VINs fill it differently.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. The decoder only reads the 17 characters, and it is free to use with no registration.
