Must be an older model with newer parts - plate returns it as a 1998.

Per VIN, ML 230 delivered October 11, 1998 (exactly one year before my birthday!) with grey leather interior. 1999 MY I guess?

We have a similar joke about the region of Molise :lol:

Yeah, though the version I know is that the city is just so boring with nothing there, that it simply doesn't exist.

American built by the 11th digit being an A.

@dhill_cb7, before you change all the 'A' VINs to USA, please be aware of the fact that the A is a part of the euro/'normal' MB VIN serial numbers

For the US style numbers, you should normally also find the model year at the tenth position like you are used to - but Mercedes has not always followed these rules

I understand. Take a gander at the PDF on the forum I linked up. I am not sure how to upload a picture of it. I copied and pasted the data best I could.

1 World manufacturer code:
WDC=MBUSI

2 Vehicle model
163=M-class
163.154=ML 320,
163.172=ML 430, 163.174=ML 55 AMG, 163.175=ML 500

3 Steering
1 LHS vehicle
2 RHS4 Manufacturing plant

4 Plant
A Tuscaloosa
X Graz

5 Chassis number (production consecutive number)
Begins in the case of vehicles of Graz production with a "7" vehicle

Edit: I broke the above VIN down so you can see clearly what I mean :) WDC (1) 163136 (2) 1 (3) A (4) 071390 (5)

Please look at the #45 post by 43sqd. The PDF is an official VIN decoder for MLs. Link to "www.benzworld.org"
