Mitsubishi VIN decoder for Australia and NZ
Mitsubishi built cars at Tonsley Park in Adelaide until 2008 – the Magna, Verada and 380 carry the code 6MM. Today the Triton and Pajero Sport come from Thailand and the Outlander, ASX and Eclipse Cross from Japan, with a code reserved for Australia.
Mitsubishi manufacturer codes (WMI)
The first three characters of the VIN are the world manufacturer identifier. These are the Mitsubishi codes you will see most often in Australia and New Zealand:
| VIN starts with | Meaning |
|---|---|
JMF | Mitsubishi built in Japan for Australia |
MMA / MMB / MMC | Mitsubishi Motors Thailand (Triton, Pajero Sport) |
6MM | Mitsubishi Motors Australia (Magna, 380) |
JMA | Mitsubishi right-hand drive for Europe |
JA3 / JA4 | Mitsubishi for North America |
Model year in a Mitsubishi VIN
Confirm the build date on the compliance or build plate; position 10 is not a reliable year code on cars built for Australia.

Tritons and Pajeros are popular for towing and off-road use. Look for damage records and odometer jumps, and check that a Japanese-market import has been complied.
