I am a bit confused. My car is certified by MBUSA as a model year 2011 car but my VEDOC says code 800 which is model year 2010. The car production date is 09/21/2010. So what is it really? This gets confusing as I am modding the car in some critical ways and need to know which year should be applied.

Look at the 10th digit of your VIN. If it's an"A" it's a 2010. If it's a "B" its a 2011. Let us know what you learn.

WDDKK5GFXBF037136 So its a "B" and a 2011 MY. I guess I should ignore the code 800 on the datacard?


Thanks for the help!

This vehicle is a model year 2010 car. This is denoted by the option code 800 in the vehicle datacard. Also it shows the build date as 19th February 2010.

The car is a model year 2010 vehicle. The 10th digit stuff is misleading.

I am still a bit confused as your report gives conflicting information. At the top of the document it indicates a 2011 model year but lists code 800 as a 2010 model year….
