Nissan Juke: reading the VIN

One chassis code, ten model years, and a page that says so rather than padding itself out.

Runs the free GCC spec check on your own vehicle. Nothing is stored against your name.
Is a Nissan Juke GCC spec?
The honest answer, before anything else on this page.

GCC specification is decided per vehicle, not per model. Two cars of the same model and the same year, built in the same factory in the same week, can go to different markets. So no page can tell you whether yours is a Gulf car, and this one does not try. What it can do is show you exactly what your own VIN encodes and where that stops.

Position 10 is a destination code on this car. U covers Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, A is Australia and general export, and Z is the rest of the world. U is the value a Gulf car carries, and because it also covers Europe it narrows the answer without settling it.

What this decoder reads from a Nissan Juke VIN
Specific to this model, not to the brand.

The Juke has exactly one row in this table, the F15, covering 2010 to 2019, and that is the honest extent of the coverage. It is worth being blunt about what a single row means: the VIN will tell you the car is an F15 Juke and the decoder will not narrow it further, because the export layout puts no engine, no gearbox and no trim anywhere it can read. The second-generation F16 is not tabled at all. A one-row page is still worth publishing when the row is right and the limits are stated, which is more than a decoder that answers everything can say.

What the VIN cannot tell you here
Stated because a decoder that never says this is not worth trusting.
  • No model year on the export layout.
  • The second-generation F16 is not tabled.
  • No engine and no trim.

A VIN describes how a vehicle was built. It cannot describe where it was shipped, and no decoder anywhere changes that. The free GCC spec check reads your VIN, gives a verdict with a certainty score and the evidence behind it, and lists the physical and documentary checks that settle what the VIN cannot, starting with the GSO conformity lookup. The full VIN decoder returns every attribute the decode resolves, and the Nissan page explains the scheme above position by position.

Common questions

Does a Juke VIN show the model year?

Not on the export layout. Position 10, which is the model year on an American car, is a destination code on an export Nissan: U for Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, A for Australia and general export, and Z for the rest of the world. A 2003 and a 2012 car can carry the same letter. The model year lives on the chassis plate and in Nissan's own build records, not in the VIN.
