Build codes and 'decade'
Can someone please explain to me what the term 'decade' means in relation to build date!
Also is there anywhere I can access a full list of 'build codes'....the 4 figure codes that refer to specific items in a car?

Don't know, but decode in your context makes sense if there's a spelling issue.

I'm not being paranoid (much!) but I had a strange request for the car which I'm eager to confirm! !!

Try mbdecoder.com which worked for me with a new 2020 GLC (when all the other sites had a database older than my car)

Decade is a term used by MBUSA which refers to a particular part of the month (i.e. the first 10 days, middle 10 days or last 10 days).
