Vehicle Identification Number - Ah60.00-S-0800-02KOV
Model all (Light transporter)
Shown here are EU vehicles
Shown on model 447 with code ZU8 (USA national version)
The vehicle identification number starts and ends with the trademark (1, 19) "Mercedes star" and has 19 stamped characters with a total length of 103 mm.
If, in case of repair, the area where the vehicle identification number has been embossed is replaced, it is necessary to stamp in the vehicle identification number at the same point.
This involves a change to the vehicle which is subject to mandatory reporting. In the Federal Republic of Germany immediately inform the vehicle licensing agency in writing .
The vehicle owner is required to complete a certificate for the vehicle licensing authority that indicates that the vehicle identification number has been re-stamped after completing body repairs.
As proof, the original vehicle identification number cut out of the old part may also be enclosed.
A vehicle identification number that the workshop has incorrectly or not fully stamped-in must then be crossed through and correctly stamped in to match the model in the spare field provided on the front section of the wheel well paneling, on the metal tab on the B-pillar, on the firewall, in the center of the ladder-type frame or on the floor.
This procedure should be noted additionally in the certificate for the vehicle licensing authority as follows:
"The incorrectly or incompletely punched vehicle identification number was crossed out and the correct vehicle identification number punched in the spare field".
Vehicle model designation 415 does not have a spare field on the striking plate of the right engine mounting bracket, and therefore the vehicle identification number must be stamped into the new part that has not yet been installed.
Export countries must observe their relevant vehicle licensing provisions and legal requirements.
