Where is the VIN number located on a Ford Focus?
2 Answers
The VIN number on a Ford Focus can be found in the following locations: 1. Open the passenger door and check the manufacturer's plate on the lower part of the B-pillar in the door frame; 2. At the junction of the dashboard and the windshield in front of the driver's seat, visible from outside the car; 3. Under the passenger side floor mat. The VIN code is a 17-character alphanumeric code, also known as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. The Ford Focus is a Class A family sedan with body dimensions of 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height. In terms of exterior design, the Focus adopts a family-style design, featuring sharp-looking LED headlights with striking L-shaped daytime running lights. For the interior, the Focus dashboard has a stronger three-dimensional design, highlighted by a floating 8-inch central display screen and equipped with the SYNC3 multimedia system, which supports CarPlay and CarLife functions.
I've been driving a Focus for over ten years. The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is located at the bottom of the windshield on the driver's side. You can see it as soon as you sit in the car - it's a string of numbers and letters engraved on a metal strip in the corner of the glass, just like a license plate number. It usually has 17 characters, with Ford Focus models typically starting with a combination of letters and numbers. When looking for it, remember to wipe the glass clean to avoid dust covering it. If you can't find it there, you can open the driver's door and check the label on the door frame (near the B-pillar), which also has the VIN printed on it. Additionally, it might be engraved on the firewall panel under the hood, but you'll need to lift the hood for a closer look. Don't forget that the VIN is also printed on vehicle registration documents, insurance cards, and other official papers - these come in handy if you ever lose these documents. Mechanics often say the VIN is like a car's ID card - it's essential for buying, repairing, or transferring ownership of the vehicle. I regularly check its location to prevent it from becoming unreadable due to aging, and if it gets scratched, I can deal with it promptly. Finding it is simple, don't overcomplicate it.
