Vin number lookup

[Expertamateur]

I am about to purchase a Peugeot 307cc and would like to check it has a genuine VIN number. I have tried a few VIN decoder sites online but they give incomplete or confusing information. Any ideas what to do?

You could put the VIN on here and hopefully admin will look it up for you.

We can help if you need an original genuine part number, part diagram or vehicle factory build sheet and can't already find the info you need on the Forum. For this service, we do ask for a membership upgrade for official parts data as we are in turn charged for this. It will cover you for future part number requests for up to 3 years, so excellent value.

If interested, links are below, then provide your vehicle's VIN in full, which will be masked automatically when you submit your post.

A response to your question by a Forum Admin requiring parts or specific vehicle information requires you to have made a current contribution (Min. £10 / €11.48 or equivalent) to the Forum.

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'genuine' VIN - that doesn't really make any sense - it will have a VIN that corresponds to the vehicle or it won't, but in either case here's your build sheet:

I am absolutely delighted with the detailed info you have provided from the VIN number. A lot of stuff there will make it easier for me to purchase the correct parts when I need them. It clarifies issues like exactly what model/series/build spec it is. During its production run there were variations in what was fitted to different years, etc. Many thanks for your effort.

[GiveMeABreak]

No problem, just remember your membership upgrades also entitles you to request official numbers from us, just pop the request for the part you require up on the Parts thread listed on the top threads of the Citroën, DS and Peugeot main forums.

[skisedr]

You can use this search engine to find car specifications from the VIN : https://autoref.eu/

[myglaren]

I wouldn't put any trust in that. Tried mine and it was completely wrong. Got the make and model correct but nothing more.

[skisedr]

Interesting. For my Peugeot it worked like a charm but I guess the result could be different according to the manufacturer

Hi,
I wonder what kind of gearbox is mounted in my Peugeot 3008 2.0hdi, as I need to change the driveshafts. Is there any chance to check by VIN please? VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Unfortunately Stellantis have removed our option to access their database and look up details from VINs.
But perhaps a member with their own account with Stellantis may provide the details that you require.
