Vin decoder

Does anyone know of a vin decoding website? I had one a while ago and can't find it.



It's vin analytics but it doesnt do mercedes.

2018 E400 Canada

I've been looking at a WHITE E400 wagon at a local dealer. It looks nice but . . . When I run the VIN with BeenVerified it indicates that the car is BLACK (paint code 040). Could this be a difference in the paint code used in Canada or is it, no pun intended, a red flag on the car? BeenVerified also indicates that the interior color is Designo Black/ Titanium Grey Pearl Exclusive Nappa Leather AND Designo Macchiato Beige/Saddle Brown Exclusive Nappa Leather. I'm in New York as is the car now.

TIA,
Dunkin

no, the paint code will always be the same across North America. Look at the door jam where the VIN sticker is, does it show 040?

For Mercedes vehicles, a dedicated MB VIN check is usually the most reliable. Personally i used ProvinCheck for both pre-owned and older models. It’s fast, easy to use, and gives a comprehensive report. Definitely worth it if looking to verify the details of a Mercedes before buying.
