Help with VIN

I hired a jimny in Rhodes, from Avis who quote "most if our cars are under 6 months old" but the one I got I reckon is on at least it's second summer - 90000 km on it when I picked it up.
I've tried free vin decoders but I cannot get the model year ???
Is anyone able to do better ?
The vin is VSEFJB43C00207061

there is no year in vin code if 10th digit is zero. isn't year of production written in car passport?

VSE - santana build

"Santana broke its relations with Suzuki in 2009 and since then it no longer made any Suzuki car under license"
does santana even builds jimnys anymore?

It's a rental so not got car passport.
Don't know if year can be got from Greek number plate like it can on uk ?

In 2011 the owner of the company, the Government of Andalusia, decided to close the Santana Motor company and its car factory and 1,341 people were laid off or retired prematurely.[1][9] From 6,692 cars made in 2007, the company manufactured 1,197 in 2009 and no more than 769 in 2010.

so last cars produced by santana motors are from 2010/2011

"does santana even builds jimnys anymore?"

No idea, but he plays a fkng mean guitar!

The VIN standard does not define a character for the year of manufacture, that only applies in the US where they have requirements additional to the VIN standard.
I agree with the others, if it has a VSE* VIN then its at least four years old.

went over the young whippersnappers heads that one

Just to update, I had a look in the glove box and in the wallet with the manual was a document that seemed to suggest it was new in 2009.
I'll probably get nowhere but I'm going to try and get some money back for them renting me a rather knackered car.

Missing the Jimny then Gary?!

Underpowered, uncomfortable, thirsty, slow, why on earth would I miss it ? Apart from the fact that every time I drove it made me smile...

Definately thinking of getting another one sometime...

It all depends what my lad decides to do after he passes his test; if he wants to keep driving then I'm probably going to end up financing him to a degree (if only with his first years insurance) and might well get rid of the Wagon & get another jimny for us to share (in addition to my CR-V).

Here's an interesting question for you all though :

Why am I making a fuss about being charged for 44.9 litres of petrol by Avis to refill the Jimny I hired in Rhodes ?
