Where is the VIN number in Ford Mondeo (Mondeo V [2020-2020])?

This guide shows you where to find the VIN (chassis number) on the Ford Mondeo Mondeo V [2020-2020] produced between 2020–2020, using the easiest-to-check spots first and the hidden stamped chassis VIN last.

Chassis Number Locations

B-Pillar (Door Jamb) Sticker

• Where to look: Open the front door and look at the center pillar (B-pillar) near the lower section. You’re looking for a black tamper-proof label with the VIN plus weight ratings/paint codes.
• Access: Easy access, flat surface, usually high-contrast text. Can be in shadow from the door and may be scuffed/faded on older or heavily used cars.
• Note: On LHD cars it’s commonly on the passenger-side B-pillar, but it can vary by market—check both sides if you don’t see it immediately.
• Tip: If the door shadow makes it hard to read, scan it directly with your phone so you don’t misread characters like 8/B or 5/S.

Windshield (Dashboard)

• Where to look: From outside the car, look through the lower corner of the windshield (typically driver-side) where the glass meets the dashboard—usually a small plate or sticker.
• Access: No tools needed, but glare/reflections off the windshield and dirt/rain can make the VIN hard to read.
• Note: This is a common “quick check” VIN, but not always the easiest to capture cleanly in bright daylight.
• Tip: If reflections wash out the numbers, capture it instantly with the ScanVin camera scanner and block overhead light with your body to cut glare.

Floor (Under Carpet) – Primary Chassis Stamping

• Where to look: In the front footwell floor, beside the front seat and near the door sill. There’s typically a pre-cut flap in the carpet—lift it to reveal the VIN stamped into the metal chassis.
• Access: Harder. You must lift/pry the carpet flap, and the stamping can be low-contrast (often body-colored paint) with dirt buildup. The area is usually dark.
• Note: Commonly on the passenger side for LHD vehicles, but if you don’t find it there, check the driver-side front footwell as well.
• Tip: Because it’s dark and the stamping can blend into the metal, use Flashlight + OCR—scan it with ScanVin instead of trying to read it sideways in the footwell.

Engine Bay (Shock Tower)

• Where to look: Check the top of the passenger-side shock tower / suspension turret area for a stamped VIN.
• Access: Often blocked by hoses/wiring and can be dirty/greasy; cleaning may be needed to see all characters.
• Note: This spot is less consistent across trims/markets than the door sticker and floor stamping, so treat it as a secondary check.
• Tip: If grime or faded stamping hides characters, wipe it down and use ScanVin’s high-contrast scanning to pull out faint letters/numbers.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield glare: If the dashboard VIN plate reflects sky/trees, change your viewing angle, shade the glass, and clean the lower windshield before scanning.
• Floor stamping hard to read: Lift the carpet flap fully, scrub dirt off the stamping, and use a flashlight because the footwell is dark and the stamping may be paint-on-paint.
• Sticker validity warning: If the B-pillar label looks peeled, re-stuck, or mismatched fonts, confirm the VIN against the stamped chassis VIN before buying.
