Where is the VIN number located on the MG ZS?

The VIN number of the MG ZS is located under the front passenger seat. Lift the floor mat to find a long slot, and pulling open this slot will reveal the VIN. Definition of VIN: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code assigned to each vehicle, used to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. To avoid confusion with the numbers 1, 0, and 9, the letters I, O, and Q are not used. Additionally, the 10th character, which indicates the model year, does not use I, O, Q, U, Z, or 0. MG ZS Powertrain Overview: Equipped with SAIC's world-class Blue Core powertrain, including 1.0T and 1.5L engines. The 1.0T engine delivers a maximum power of 125 horsepower and peak torque of 170 Nm, paired with an Aisin 6AT transmission. The 1.5L engine produces a maximum power of 120 horsepower and peak torque of 150 Nm, available with either a 5MT or 4AT transmission.
When I first bought my MG ZS, I was also curious about where the VIN was. It turns out it's located at the lower left corner of the windshield on the driver's side, visible when you press against the glass. Once when I went for an annual inspection, the staff took photos directly there and mentioned that this position is standard for all vehicles, making it convenient for scanning and inspection. If it's inconvenient to crawl over to look, I suggest opening the car door—there's also an engraved number on the pillar near the door lock on the door frame. Remember, the VIN is written on the vehicle registration certificate and insurance policy, so you can check there if you can't find it. It's important to protect your privacy, so don't show it to others casually. This number is needed for regular maintenance or when selling the car. My ZS has been running for two years without any issues, and the positioning is very accurate.
As a frequent car repairer, the VIN locations on the MG ZS are quite standard: the most obvious spot is at the bottom edge of the windshield in front of the driver's seat, where the alphanumeric sequence is clearly visible upon approaching the window; another location is on the metal label attached to the door pillar when the left door is opened. If the hood is lifted, there might also be one near the engine firewall, though you may need to wipe off some dust to see it clearly. The VIN serves as the car's ID card—essential for registration and anti-theft purposes. I've seen cases where owners neglected to check it and faced issues later. My advice: bring a phone flashlight when lighting is poor, and don't rely solely on one spot—checking all locations saves hassle.
