Where is the VIN number in FORD EcoSport (EcoSport II [2018-2018])?

This guide shows where to locate the VIN/chassis number on the FORD EcoSport (EcoSport II [2018-2018]), produced between 2018–2018, including the hidden floor stamp and the quick-check windshield VIN.

Chassis Number Locations

Front floor VIN stamp (under carpet flap)

• Where to look: In the front footwell floor, on the floor cross-member directly in front of the front seat rails. There’s a pre-cut flap in the carpet—lift it (you may need to unclip/lift a small plastic grommet/button) to reveal the VIN stamped into the metal chassis bar.
• Access: Low to Medium difficulty. It’s dark down there, and you’ll likely need one hand to hold the carpet flap open. Wipe/scrub the stamp if it’s dusty from shoes.
• Note: The video vehicle is RHD. For LHD (EU/US) cars, don’t assume “driver side.” Safest approach: check the front footwell floor on the right side first (commonly the passenger side on LHD), and if you don’t find it, check the other side footwell.
• Tip: Because it’s shadowy and awkward to hold the carpet up, use the app’s flashlight and scan it directly with the VIN reader instead of trying to read it one-handed.

Windshield VIN label (bottom corner)

• Where to look: Look through the windshield at the lower corner where the dashboard meets the glass. You’ll see a VIN sticker/plate visible through the glass.
• Access: Medium difficulty. The main issue is glare/reflections and camera focus through angled glass.
• Note: On many LHD vehicles the visible VIN is commonly on the driver-side lower corner, but the exact side can vary—check both lower corners if needed.
• Tip: If reflections make characters hard to read, capture it with your phone using ScanVin.app so you don’t miscopy letters/numbers.

B-pillar / door jamb VIN sticker (typical Ford label)

• Where to look: Open a front door and inspect the B-pillar/door jamb area (the post between front and rear doors) for a black VIN/vehicle info sticker.
• Access: Usually easy—no tools. (This spot was mentioned as typical, but not shown in a close-up in the provided footage.)
• Note: Location can be on either side depending on market/trim; check both front door jambs if you don’t see it immediately.
• Tip: If the sticker print is faint or you’re checking it in poor light, use the free VIN scanner to grab a clean read without transcription errors.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Can’t see the stamped VIN on the floor: Lift the carpet flap fully, then scrub/wipe the metal stamp and use a flashlight—dust and shadows hide characters fast.
• Windshield VIN won’t scan/read: Change your angle to reduce glare/reflections, and shoot from outside the vehicle if the interior glass is reflecting.
• Sticker vs. stamp mismatch: A sticker can be replaced—always cross-check the windshield label with the stamped floor VIN before buying or registering.
