How do I perform a Club Car serial number lookup to find the year?

To complete a club car serial number lookup year check, find the metal plate or barcode sticker located on the passenger side dash kick panel or steering column base. The first two letters identify your model (e.g., AQ for Precedent Electric, AA for DS Electric). The first two numeric digits immediately following represent the year of manufacture (e.g., AQ0814 indicates a 2008 model produced in week 14). Enter your code into our free interactive tool above for immediate decoding.

Where is the date code on an EZGO cart, and how does the lookup chart work?

For an ezgo serial number lookup year inquiry on EZGO TXT models (1996–present), open the passenger-side glovebox to read the Manufacturer Date Code (e.g., H2403). The final two digits represent the manufacturing year (2003). For old ezgo serial number lookup on Marathon carts (1976–1994), check the plate under the passenger seat. You can reference our ezgo serial number lookup chart above to quickly confirm whether your cart is a Marathon, Medalist, TXT, or RXV.
