Mercedes-Benz GLC Build Sheet by VIN
Same lookup as the Mercedes-Benz data card by VIN and the Mercedes-Benz build sheet by VIN — same free availability check, same $9.99 report, for every Mercedes-Benz model.
A Mercedes-Benz GLC build sheet shows how one SUV or Coupe VIN was built: model (GLC 300 4MATIC, AMG GLC 43), paint, upholstery and installed options such as AMG Line, the Premium or Pinnacle package, Driver Assistance, Burmester audio, the panoramic roof and the trailer hitch — the equipment that separates one used GLC from another.

What a Mercedes-Benz GLC build sheet shows
The used market is full of near-identical GLC 300s. What separates them is option content: assistance packages, audio, the panoramic roof, heated seats and steering wheel, and whether a hitch was fitted at the factory. A VIN build sheet lists the factory model, colors and the installed options and packages recorded for that car when the build data includes them.
- • The factory model, exterior paint and upholstery recorded for that VIN.
- • Installed factory options and packages, with option codes, when the underlying build data includes them.
- • Original MSRP figures, when the underlying build data includes them — not every VIN or model year has this available.
- • A downloadable, printable PDF you can keep with the car’s records or share with a seller or lender.
Data density varies by model year and specific VIN — some return a full option and MSRP breakdown, others model and color only. You see which applies before you pay. Not included: accident history, title brands (salvage, flood, lemon), odometer history, prior-owner count, service records.
Mercedes-Benz GLC options that matter most
Focus: X254 (and X253). Linked codes are from the Mercedes-Benz option code reference (applicability in brackets). Options marked “by name” appear on the build record under their option name — the code varies by model and year and is shown on the build sheet for that VIN.
| Option | Code (applies to) | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| AMG Line | By name | Sport bumpers, wheels and trim; easy to imitate. Listed by name. |
| Premium / Pinnacle Package | By name | US trim bundles; read the line items on the record. Listed by name. |
| Driver Assistance Package | By name | Adaptive cruise with steering assist and the wider assistance suite. Listed by name. |
| Panoramic sliding sunroof |
| One of the most-requested options on a used SUV. |
| Trailer coupling |
| A factory hitch is wired and integrated; aftermarket hitches are common. The code confirms factory fitment. |
| Burmester 3D surround sound | By name | Premium audio upgrade. Listed by name. |
| Heated steering wheel |
| Winter-buyer filter; confirm on the record. |
| Night Package | By name | Black exterior accents; listed by name. |
Paint is a separate three-digit code on the vehicle data plate and data card — see the Mercedes-Benz paint code reference. How to read the rest of a data card: Mercedes-Benz option codes explained.

Example: a Mercedes-Benz GLC VIN, position by position
Illustrative example, not a specific car: W1NKM4HB1PF012345 is a check-digit-valid pattern that the federal decoder reads as 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC300 4MATIC SUV, plant Bremen, Germany (NHTSA vPIC). Nothing in the 17 characters describes options — those live in the build record (the data card) for the VIN. Decode any Mercedes-Benz VIN free with the Mercedes-Benz VIN decoder.
| Positions | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | W1N | World Manufacturer Identifier — Mercedes-Benz AG SUVs / multipurpose vehicles. |
| 4–8 | KM4HB | Vehicle descriptor — Mercedes model line, body, engine and restraint coding; here a GLC 300 4MATIC SUV. |
| 9 | 1 | Check digit (validates the other 16 characters). |
| 10 | P | Model year 2023. |
| 11 | F | Assembly plant: Bremen, Germany. |
| 12–17 | 012345 | Production serial number for that plant. |
Build sheet vs. the data card and window sticker
The original window sticker (Monroney label) lists the factory options and their prices, and the Mercedes-Benz data card lists the option codes — but a used car often no longer has either, and Mercedes me only shows a car's own records once the VIN is authenticated to an owner account. A CarWhere build sheet is the instant option when you are not the owner yet: This CarWhere build sheet is reconstructed from available VIN-level build data. It is not an official Mercedes-Benz data card, Monroney label, or factory certificate. Other routes — dealer printouts, service records, the Mercedes-Benz window sticker by VIN — are compared in how to find Mercedes options by VIN.

FAQ
How do I get a build sheet for a Mercedes GLC?
Enter the 17-character VIN on this page. CarWhere checks free whether detailed build data exists for that exact car; if it does, the build sheet is $9.99 one-time and lists the factory model, colors and installed options and packages when the build data includes them.
Did my GLC come with a factory trailer hitch?
Check the build record for trailer coupling, Mercedes option code 550 in the CarWhere option code reference. Aftermarket hitches are common, so the record is the reliable check.
What is the difference between X253 and X254?
They are Mercedes’ internal codes for the GLC SUV generations: X253 covers US model years 2016–2022 and X254 starts with model year 2023.
Is the CarWhere GLC build sheet the official Mercedes-Benz data card?
No. It is reconstructed from licensed VIN-level build data and is not an official Mercedes-Benz data card, Monroney label or factory certificate. Mercedes me shows a car’s own records only once the VIN is authenticated to an owner account.
