This post was in the Mercedes sub-forum but it is quiet in there so hope it doesn’t get moved …

I’m sure PH can find a solution but am looking at a potential car and want to verify the actual build spec options.

The seller has sent me a spec sheet at the time of his purchase (he purchased brand new but I’ve already found some inconsistencies)

I have the chassis / vin number but all the online decoders I haves used for mercedes say ‘Vehicle not found’

Anyone have a reliable decoder they can recommend or any kind soul that would able to run a spec report ?

The car in question is a 2021 GLE in Switzerland.

May be most/all of the VIN decoders on the web use the old EPC database and therefore don't have the details for newer cars?

Looks like you have the VIN wrong imo.

It’s the VIN from the original registration card so very unlikely that it’s the wrong number but I suppose I can ask the seller to send me a pic from the car to see if it is incorrect ..

The VIN I have in case anyone can get it working is ..

I note lastvin does say on entering the above:

"ERROR: VIN not found
...
...
...Your car is too new and it hasn't been added to the database."
