Where is the chassis number stamped on the Mazda 3 Axela?
2 Answers
The chassis number stamp on the Mazda 3 Axela is located at the lower left corner of the front windshield. The chassis number, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), is a unique code assigned to every vehicle. This code consists of 17 digits and letters arranged in a strict combination, serving as the vehicle's unique identifier. Taking the Mazda 3 Axela 2021 1.5L Manual Zhimei Edition as an example: this vehicle is manufactured by Changan Mazda, classified as a compact car with a naturally aspirated engine. The dimensions of the car are 4662mm in length, 1797mm in width, 1445mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2726mm.
I also spent a long time searching for this when I first inspected my car. The Mazda 3 has five most reliable locations for the VIN: 1) On the steering column, just crouch down and tilt your head to see it; 2) The lower left corner of the windshield, most visible from outside the car; 3) Under the passenger side door sill trim, stamped on the inner metal sill; 4) Requires removing the small cover on the left side of the dashboard, found on the internal metal plate; 5) On the firewall in the engine compartment, the metal frame behind the battery. Inspection stations most commonly check the windshield and engine compartment locations. When self-inspecting, it's best to bring a cloth - heavy dust accumulation on stamped areas can make the numbers hard to read.
