About Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi vehicles are widely available on the U.S. used-car market. Decode any Mitsubishi VIN to confirm its factory build and check for open safety recalls.
Mitsubishi vehicles are decoded using the NHTSA vPIC public API. Every 17-character Mitsubishi VIN identifies the country of manufacture (positions 1–3, the World Manufacturer Identifier or WMI), the model, body style and engine (positions 4–8), a check digit (position 9), the model year (position 10), the assembly plant (position 11) and the unique serial number (positions 12–17). Combine a VIN decode with a free recall check before you buy any used Mitsubishi. For the make-specific breakdown, see the free Mitsubishi VIN decoder guide.
How to read a Mitsubishi VIN
A Mitsubishi VIN is a 17-character code. The first three characters, the WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) — identify the country and manufacturer. The 10th character encodes the model year (e.g. K = 2019, L = 2020, M = 2021, N = 2022, P = 2023, R = 2024, S = 2025). Enter your VIN in the decoder above and VinSpecs returns the exact Mitsubishi build sheet in seconds, including engine, transmission, drivetrain, restraints and assembly plant.

Where is the VIN on a Mitsubishi?
The 17-character VIN is stamped in several places on every modern Mitsubishi: visible through the windshield on the driver's-side dashboard, on a sticker inside the driver's door jamb, on the vehicle registration and insurance card, and on major mechanical components like the engine block. Cross-check them, all should match.

How can I check for Mitsubishi recalls?

What is the Mitsubishi WMI code?
The Mitsubishi WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) is encoded in the first three characters of the VIN and identifies the country and manufacturer. Because Mitsubishi produces vehicles in Japan and often other countries, different WMIs are assigned to different plants and countries, decode any specific VIN to see the exact assembly origin.
Which Mitsubishi model years can I decode?
NHTSA vPIC covers Mitsubishi vehicles from 1981 forward, when the modern 17-character VIN standard took effect. Older Mitsubishi VINs are shorter and use different formats, those are not decodable through vPIC.
