Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide.

Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it.

Thanks so much!

Hi David 

Welcome to the Forum

A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have.

As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history 

Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs.

The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should 

Good Luck

Dave
