Specification reference from cardata.wiki. A question mark means a year boundary is missing from the source, not that production continues. An empty field means the source did not provide that value. Confirm the fitted engine, transmission and equipment against the car’s documents. How specification matching works.

Reading your Mercedes-Benz CLC (W203) result

These examples apply to supported Mercedes-Benz VINs with a numeric model code in positions 4–6. US-market letter-based formats are decoded through other available sources.

Read the numeric model code

In the supported European layout, positions 4–6 contain the Baumuster model code. Our decoder uses it to identify a model family and, when mapped, a chassis generation. The shorter code does not establish all engine or equipment details.

Position 10 is not always a year

Our decoder leaves the year unknown for the European numeric-code layout instead of treating position 10 as a model year. Some US-market Mercedes-Benz VINs use the North American year format. A generation date range is not the individual car’s build date.

Use the build record for factory options

A C-Class or E-Class name can cover several bodies, engines and production generations. Compare the chassis, year and body with the registration documents. For an exact equipment list, ask for the manufacturer’s build record or data card; the open specification catalog does not replace it.

How we match sources and handle missing data. For US-market vehicles, compare NHTSA’s VIN decoder and VIN-specific recall lookup. For other markets, confirm campaigns with the manufacturer or an authorised repairer.

Using the Mercedes-Benz CLC (W203) specifications

Start with the car’s year, body and engine, then compare the matching row. Several variants may share a model name while differing in power, transmission or drive layout. If the advert conflicts with the registration or manufacturer documents, resolve the mismatch before relying on the specifications. A VIN lookup can help narrow the comparison, but does not replace a build record or inspection.

Mercedes-Benz CLC (W203) VIN FAQ

What can a Mercedes-Benz CLC (W203) VIN lookup show?+
It can return available vehicle details and related model data. A catalog variant list does not prove the exact engine, gearbox or factory equipment fitted to your car. Recall campaigns are model-level matches, not confirmation of an outstanding repair for your VIN.
Where should I check the Mercedes-Benz CLC (W203) identification number?+
Compare the number on the registration document with the vehicle’s identification markings. Common locations on modern vehicles include the windscreen base and a door-jamb label, but the owner’s manual is the reference for the correct location on your version.
What do the Mercedes-Benz CLC (W203) dates in this catalog mean?+
The source lists years 2008–2011 across 13 variants. A question mark means a year boundary was not supplied. These are catalog dates, not a verified production history or an individual vehicle’s build date.
Is the Mercedes-Benz CLC (W203) VIN check free?+
Yes. The available decode, specifications and model-level results are free without an account. An optional paid history report may contain additional records depending on the car and market.
