About the Toyota Yaris

Enter the 17-character VIN of a Toyota Yaris and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. Our data for the Yaris covers 15 versions, model years 1999 to 2024, Sedan and Hatchback bodies, and power from 65 to 280 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft records or owners, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the decoded model year and country with the registration papers and the advert, and make sure the VIN on the car matches the one in the documents.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Toyota Yaris built?

Our data lists model years 1999 - 2024 across 15 versions of the Toyota Yaris. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

Which VIN character shows the model year of a Toyota Yaris?

It is the 10th character. For the Toyota Yaris the characters to expect are 1 (2001), 2 (2002), 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), K (2019), L (2020), M (2021), N (2022), P (2023), R (2024).

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

15 versions, in 2 body styles, with power up to 280 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

How can I tell which Toyota Yaris version a car is from its VIN?

Decode the VIN to get the model year (the 10th character) and the country of manufacture, then match those with the version names in our data, such as Toyota Yaris III (facelift 2017), Toyota Yaris Verso or Toyota Yaris iA. The decoder itself does not name the version, so use the body style, the number of doors and the registration document to settle it.

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

All 17 characters must be identical and in the same order, and none of them can be I, O or Q. Then check that the model year character agrees with the registration date and the decoded country, and that the body (Sedan or Hatchback) fits the description. The 9th character is a check digit in North America, while many European VINs fill it differently.

What will the VIN decoder not tell me about a Toyota Yaris?

It reads only the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because a VIN does not contain them, and it does not report the power or equipment of an individual car.
