United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Sumatra Black
VIN Location on Body or Chassis. Not the windscreen

HI,
My car is going for a Spanish ITV test (MOT equivalent) and they now need to take a photo of the VIN which must be located on the chassis or body. For some reason they don't accept the VIN on the windscreen.

I have 2012 RRS 1 (SDTV). Can anyone tell me where I can find it.

Thanks

Damon

I think you will also find it stamped on the chassis under the drivers door area on a r/h/d vehicle not sure on l/h/d.

Hi Col,

They found it on the driver's side under the carpet. (LHD).

Thanks again

Why isn't the VIN viewable through the windscreen not allowed - after all it is not actually on the windscreen but is on the body panel underneath - really no different to the one under the carpet except it is under the windscreen.

Possibly because it can be tampered with quite easily and it isn't "permanently" marked on the car like being stamped into the chassis is. The one under the bonnet slam can also be changed as it is only stuck on or pop riveted. The one stamped on the chassis is immediately apparent from the grinding marks if it has been tampered with 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
