About the Toyota Crown

Enter the 17-character VIN of a Toyota Crown and the decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. Our data for the Crown runs from model year 1979 to the present, because it is still built, and covers Sedan, Estate, Wagon and SUV bodies with power from 79 to 360 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot speak to any of that, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the VIN in the documents with the one on the car itself, and check that the model year and body style fit the version named in the listing.

Learn more about VINs

A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.

Before you buy a used Toyota Crown

  • Compare the VIN on the dashboard, the door frame and the documents. All three should match.
  • Look for signs of tampering around the VIN plate and the door frame sticker.
  • Ask for the service history and check it against the car.
  • Run a full history report to see recorded damage, mileage and theft records.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Toyota Crown built?

Our data lists model years 1979 - present across 31 versions of the Toyota Crown. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

How many versions of the Toyota Crown are in your data?

31 versions, in 4 body styles, with power up to 360 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

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

The decoder gives you the model year, which narrows things down. Our data lists 31 versions, such as the Toyota Crown XI Athlete (S170), the Toyota Crown Wagon (GS130) and the Toyota Crown Comfort (XS10), so match the year and body style against the version name and the code in the car's papers.

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

All 17 characters must be identical, with no I, O or Q anywhere, since those letters are never used in a VIN. Also check that the model year character (the 10th) and the manufacturer and country the decoder returns agree with what the registration and the listing say.

What will the decoder not tell me about a Toyota Crown?

It reads only the VIN, so you get the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture. Accidents, mileage, theft and previous owners are not stored in a VIN and cannot be decoded from it. A car from 1979 or 1980 may also carry a shorter VIN than 17 characters, because 17-character VINs apply to cars built since 1981.
