Quick response
Quick Answer: The most reliable VIN location for the Ford Mustang is the VIN stamping on the right-side front floorpan under the carpet flap. It’s typically in the front footwell floor area beneath a pre-cut rectangular carpet flap. Use a flashlight because the stamping sits in a dark footwell and may be painted over, reducing contrast.

Where is the VIN number in Ford Mustang (VII [2018-2018])?
This guide shows you where to locate the VIN (chassis number) on the Ford Mustang (VII [2018-2018]), including the most reliable stamped location and the easiest label to scan.
Chassis Number Locations
Right-side front floorpan (stamped into chassis) 
- Where to look: Go to the right-side front footwell and find a pre-cut rectangular flap in the carpet. Lift the flap to reveal the VIN stamped directly into the painted metal floorpan.
- Access: Easy—no tools required, just lift the carpet flap. Expect low light in the footwell, and the stamping may be painted body color, which makes the characters harder to read.
- Note: “Right-side” refers to the vehicle’s right side (direction of travel). On many LHD Mustangs, this commonly ends up on the passenger-side footwell, but if you don’t find it there, check the other front footwell as well.
- Tip: Because this area is dark and the stamp can blend into the paint, use a flashlight and then scan it directly with ScanVin.app’s VIN OCR to catch the characters without guessing.
Left B-pillar / door jamb manufacturer label (VIN sticker) 
- Where to look: Open the left door and check the B-pillar (door latch post) for a black label with white text and barcodes.
- Access: Very easy—standing-height, flat surface, usually good natural light with the door open.
- Note: The label is shown on the left B-pillar; side can differ by market, so if it’s not on the left, check the opposite door jamb.
- Tip: This label is high-contrast and barcode-friendly—use the free VIN scanner to capture it cleanly without transcription mistakes.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting
- VIN stamping is hard to read: The floor stamp can be painted over and sits in a dark footwell—shine light across it at an angle to create shadows in the stamped characters.
- Carpet flap is missed: Some owners never notice the pre-cut carpet rectangle—feel for the seam, then lift the flap instead of pulling the whole carpet back.
- Sticker vs. stamped VIN: Door jamb labels can be replaced—for identity checks, confirm the label VIN matches the stamped chassis VIN.
