I know there are various sites quoted to check VINs, however, i am getting error messages for the car I am about to purchase.

The car is a 2009 ML63, but based here in Qatar. I assume its still made in US, but why wont any sites verify the VIN?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
northernlad

 

Cannot be that any site would not verify the VIN. Perhaps you are referring to those free Russian sites whose database does not cover 2009 build dates.

 

Thanks Diesel. Which website will give me a verification of vin, and enable me to get a list of the options on car etc. Epcnet won't work as I don't have a USA credit card. Thanks.

 

EPC works for me even if I don't have any US credit card. I just use the European service (not free).

 

I checked the EPC for Europe, but it says it can only give data cards for cars from European markets. As my car is based in the Middle East it won't be covered.

Can anybody check on the USA site for me please?

VIN is WDCBB77E69A494542

Thanks!

 

The US service is only free for US (NA?) cars, as far as I remember. From the European EPC you can get data for all markets but you may need to have access to other services where all markets are automatically included. At least I did not find any option for EPC only.

Thanks diesel,

Thats great! Did you get that data card from the European EPC?

I have paid for the european EPC, but as I have safari on iPad and Macbook, I cannot access it. I tried on my work PC, but it wont allow downloads! typical! I will find somebody elses PC where I can try access it and download it as a PDF.

Thanks so much. really appreciated.
