Typically, you can find the VIN in several locations on a vehicle, depending on the car manufacturer, as well as the logbook. Common places to look for the VIN are: Dashboard: The VIN is often visible through the windshield on the left-hand driver's side of the dashboard, near the base of the windshield on the dash. Driver's Door Jamb: Search for a sticker or metal plate on the driver's side door jamb, as the VIN is often displayed there. The door jamb is the area where the door latches when closed. Under the Bonnet: In some vehicles, you may find the VIN on various parts under the hood, such as the front of the engine compartment or radiator support. Vehicle Frame: On some older vehicles, you may find the VIN stamped directly onto the vehicle's frame. It's less common but still possible. Vehicle Registration Documents: The VIN number can be found on the vehicle's log book (V5C), which the DVLA issues to the vehicle keeper. Vehicle Handbook: Some car manufacturers include the VIN in the owner's manual or service booklet.
