For anyone outside the UK, "68 Plate" means absolutely nothing. What year or series CX-5 are you looking at?

If the chassis number starts with a "J" then its from Japan. eg JM0KE, or JMZKE etc

Oops, 68 plate means it was registered in late 2018/ early 2019.

Sorry about that!

Thanks for that! Are you in the UK too?

I'm a firm believer in that if I'm buying a German or Japanese car, it has to be made in Germany or Japan!

Good luck with the CX5 purchase. I picked up a used 2017 CX5 Grand Touring AWD last year with only 4K on the clock.

Spent several months working in UK at Ford Tractor . That was many years ago. Made some great friends while working there.

I never could keep up with the locals at the PUB.

Happy Holidays,
Jim

VIN Digit #11 tells you the plant.

0 is Hiroshima, 1 is Hofu.

JM3KFBBM9K0683510 = Hiroshima
