Every car Volvo 240 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. The model Volvo 240 appears in our data for 1974 - 1993. Versions in our data: 2. Bodies: Sedan, Wagon. Power: 155 hp. Three facts come straight from the code: who made the car, which model year it belongs to and where it was manufactured. The assembly plant is a bonus when the maker encodes it.
Keep in mind that a decoded VIN says nothing about a vehicle's past: no accidents, no mileage, no theft flags and no owner list are stored in it. When you look at a car Volvo 240, compare the VIN stamped or printed on the vehicle with the one in the registration papers, character by character. A single differing character is a reason to ask questions.
