Where Can the Vehicle Identification Number Be Found?

[MilesFitz]

The specific location of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) varies by vehicle model, but it is generally found in the following places: 1. The lower left corner of the front windshield. 2. On the driver's side door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or door edge, usually in a prominent position. 3. Inside the engine compartment. 4. It may also be fixed on the inner side of the door near the driver's seat. 5. In most Chinese passenger cars, the VIN is located on the left side of the dashboard, below the windshield, though the exact position may vary by model. Here is some additional information about the VIN: (1) The VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number, is similar to an ID card number—it is a unique code assigned by the manufacturer to identify a specific vehicle. (2) The VIN is a 17-character combination of letters and numbers, arranged in such a way that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years. This 17-digit code provides information about the vehicle's country of origin, production year, model, engine type, and more, making the VIN essentially the 'ID card' of the car.
