worked for mine.
Interesting. Maybe I'm doing something wrong on the URL.

jjeff said:I wonder if this only works for Leafs that were originally leased? I know some people have been speculating it only works for later '13 and on models but my '13 is a November build and it doesn't workcan't get much later than November. All I can think of is my '13 was purchased, I didn't lease, could this be the case? Has anyone been able to pull up a purchased Leaf of '13 build, or really any purchased Leaf would be also interesting....
BrockWI got his leaf in 3-'13(probably build date of Jan or Feb '13.....)and it worked so that kind of eliminates the idea of early '13's not working, not sure if his was leased or originally purchased though.
Basically all '13's I've checked off CL work but then again I'd assume almost all were leased.

Mine was built in 1/13, and originally leased in Georgia in 2/13. I purchased it in 3/15. It doesn't work for my VIN.

I wonder if the only ones that show up were at one time listed on the CPO site, so that Nissan generated the window sticker and loaded it to that server.

Also having used this EXTENSIVELY over the last week(my bother is looking for a used Leaf) I totally agree with you. The only given, like you said, is no 11's or 12's work, otherwise as you said, it's basically a crap shoot. Still handy to have when it works and I'd love to know why it works and other times not(even for '14s I've tired) but it is what it isDaveinOlyWA said:After EXTENSIVE testing of several VINs, I have come to the conclusion that the cars that work do not seem to fit any discernible pattern. A lot of them work and a lot don't. Looks like only American built works but every MY had ones that worked and didn't work. Both purchased and leased had ones that worked and didn't work...

True, which most dealers provide for N/C, unfortunately I've found many smaller dealers and of course the rare private party will never supply.DaveinOlyWA said:jjeff said:Also having used this EXTENSIVELY over the last week(my bother is looking for a used Leaf) I totally agree with you.

At least the CARFAX works on all of them...

Scaramanga said:Worked on my 2016 US car, thanks! These links are gold when you buy a used car and want to know how it was built, so when I was wrenching on old Volvo's and VW's we used to troll around the interweb for VIN decoders but this is so much better. The only manufacturer I've seen that exposed this fairly easily was Ford, but I guess most must do it to perform service functions and just sell cars.
Great find thanks!
Here's mine:

mrggg said:Here is a little trick I cooked up. I was looking at Nissan's website at used Leaf's, and they have a cute little link to show you the original window sticker. When I looked at the link, I could see that the VIN number was part of it. So, I then tried substituting other VIN numbers I could see on Autotrader, and sure enough, I got the original window sticker ! I expect it would work for any Nissan vehicle, not just Leaf's. I found this particularly useful when shopping used Leaf's, since many dealers neglect to tell you if the car has a quick charger or faster fast charger. The window sticker will tell you all options as shipped.
Here is an example, just cut out the VIN number at the end and substitute yours :
