My VIN is not being recognise by decode web application.
Can anyone recommend a decoder?
The Code I'm using is off the car's engine bay ID plate.

Try the one on the dash or the door pillar, should be 17 digits... still, sometimes there are anomalies, not unheard.

If a VIN isn’t recognized by a decoder, it’s usually because the code was entered with a typo, includes extra characters, or isn’t the full 17-character VIN but an internal ID from the engine bay plate. Check the VIN in other locations like the driver door jamb, the base of the windshield, or your registration documents, and make sure it doesn’t contain the letters O, I, or Q. Also keep in mind that some decoders don’t support certain markets or model years, so one site may fail while another works fine. To verify factory details and confirm you’re using the correct VIN, a dedicated service like jeep vin window sticker here https://carfast.express/en/window_sticker/jeep can help by showing the original build information once the VIN is entered correctly.
