Vehicle Identification Number VIN

The VIN will probably start WME unless you have a very old fortwo.
The USA smarts have a different system.
The 6 digits after that tell you what car you have and the body/engine variant.

WME – Smart Designation

450.3XX – old style fortwo coupe
450.4XX – old style fortwo cabrio
451.3XX – fortwo coupe Mk2
451.4XX – fortwo cabrio Mk2
452.3XX – Roadster coupe
452.4XX – Roadster (notch back)
453.0XX – Forfour Mk2
453.3XX – Fortwo coupe Mk3
453.4XX – Fortwo cabrio Mk3
454.XXX – Forfour Mk1

Some early cars had an alternate VIN code on the body, such as WME01MC01******** but all of these early codes are matched to a proper style of VIN code. Very very early VIN codes started TCC but they are few and far between.

The last 8 numbers are unique to your car. Smart should be able to tell you everything about your car if you give them your VIN. A VIN decode is not something the public can do.

Unusual 453 VIN Code Issue

Some 453s in certain countries had a VIN code starting 451. Smart did this because they were dodgy wankers. It was because the EU had mandated that all new models built after a certain date had to comply with certain regulations, mainly what AC gas had to be used. Smart claimed that the 453 was just a facelift 451 to get around these regulations because it was an existing model. They managed to get away with that for a while but eventually started using the less effective (and more flammable) R1234YF air conditioning gas. Mercedes, amongst a few other German manufacturers were dead set against using this new gas (because it was shit) so they dragged it through the EU courts for as long as they could so they didn’t have to comply.

Can The VIN Tell Me Anything Useful?

Depends on what smart you have. There is a site that can cross reference your VIN with
what smart know about your car. It can possibly tell you the following information.

Delivery date,
Car type,
Paint codes,
Engine number,
Transmission number,
Car add-on and specifications.

Where Do I Find The VIN?

450

In front of the engine cover on a sticker…

…and under the carpet on the right hand side behind the engine cover.

450 fortwo (1999 – 2000)

The VIN is on the edge of the battery box. (thanks to John for the picture).

"


Fortwo 451

In a small window in the lower right hand side of the windscreen…

…and on a sticker in the door shut.

Roadster 452

At the back right hand side of the engine bay aperture…

…and on a sticker in the the door shut.

453 Fortwo & Forfour

Look underneath the carpet flap under the front of the right hand seat.

It is stamped into the frame.
