Mercedes-Benz Build Sheet by VIN: Every Factory Option Decoded
Every Mercedes-Benz is built to a list of short option codes tied to its VIN. Here's what a decoded build sheet shows and how to get yours.
What a Mercedes-Benz build sheet shows
A Mercedes-Benz build sheet is the decoded version of the car's data card, the factory record tied to its VIN. It shows the model, the production date and the paint with its code, plus every option the car was ordered with — each one a short code with a plain description.
Real codes from Mercedes-Benz build sheets
- P31 — AMG Line exterior
- 889 — KEYLESS-GO
- 413 — panoramic sliding sunroof
- 501 — 360° camera
- P20 — Driving Assistance package
- 16U — Apple CarPlay
- 810 — premium sound system
Why it matters when you buy or sell
Two Mercedes-Benz cars of the same model can be specified very differently, and options such as the AMG Line, the panoramic roof or the Driving Assistance Package change what a car is worth. The build sheet shows what was fitted at the factory, so a buyer can check the advert and a seller can prove the spec.
