The VIN of the MG GS can be found in the following locations: under the long strip opening of the floor mat on the passenger side, beneath the front hood, at the lower right corner of the front windshield, and on the left side of the trunk. Below is some relevant information about the MG GS: 1. Exterior of the MG GS: The MG GS is a compact 5-door, 5-seater SUV with dimensions of 4510mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1699mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. 2.

I enjoy tinkering with cars in my spare time and have previously looked for the MG GS VIN. The most visible location is at the lower left corner of the windshield—just crouch down and look from the outside to spot it. Additionally, the VIN is usually engraved on the B-pillar nameplate of the driver's door frame. If you can't find it in these spots, pop open the hood and check the metal nameplate on the firewall at the rear of the engine. The VIN is like a car's ID card and needs to be verified during maintenance. Remember to bring a strong flashlight when searching, as dirt can obscure some areas. If you really can't locate it, don't force anything apart—just visit a 4S店 and let them read the ECU data with professional equipment.
Having worked in car repairs for over a decade, I've encountered many situations where people needed to locate the VIN. For the MG GS, the VIN is mainly found in three locations: the most visible spot is under the front windshield, directly opposite the steering wheel. Secondly, when you open the driver's door, there's a white label on the door sill. Another location is in the engine compartment; you'll need to open the hood and look behind the radiator. A reminder to fellow car owners: when making a rubbing of the VIN, avoid using hard objects as they can easily smudge the stamped numbers. Rubbings are required for procedures like transfer of ownership and annual inspections, and having a blurred one can be quite troublesome. Nowadays, in used car transactions, it's especially important to check the VIN for any signs of alteration, as it's one of the key indicators for identifying whether a car has been in an accident.
Last week I just helped my sister locate the VIN for her MG GS, and I've figured out some tips. First check the lower corner of the windshield - it's the easiest spot to photograph. If the window tint is too dark to see clearly, open the driver's door and look for the label on the door frame. As a last resort, you'll need to lift the hood and check near the rear shock tower. The VIN is a 17-character alphanumeric combination, with the first letter indicating the manufacturing country. Remember to wipe off water stains when checking in rainy weather, as some engraved areas tend to accumulate dust. At the repair shop, I've seen people mistake the VIN location in the engine bay for a part number - you need to examine it carefully.
