Where is the VIN number in Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (Range Rover Evoque I [2012-2017])?

This guide covers the VIN (chassis number) locations on the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque I, produced between 2012 and 2017. Use the door sticker for quick checks, then verify against the stamped body VIN in the trunk for a proper match.

Chassis Number Locations

1) Manufacturer Label (Door Pillar / B-Pillar)

• Where to look: Open the front door and inspect the B-pillar (the post between the front and rear doors). On LHD (US/EU) Evoques, this label is typically on the driver-side B-pillar; on RHD cars it’s commonly on the opposite side. Look for a black sticker with white text showing VIN, weights, and paint info.
• Access: Low difficulty. No tools needed. Clean and well-lit area most of the time.
• Note: If you’re checking an import, don’t assume the side—verify by walking around to the other front door if you don’t see it immediately.
• Tip: If you want to avoid transcription errors, scan the label in one shot with your phone—this type of high-contrast sticker is ideal for OCR.

2) Rear Trunk Floor (Under Cargo Mat / Insulation Flap)

• Where to look: Open the tailgate and lift/remove the main cargo floor mat/cover. Then lift the secondary carpet/insulation layer directly behind the rear seats (forward of the spare tire well area). The VIN is stamped into the metal trunk floor panel, slightly left of center, and is often hidden under a pre-cut flap in the foam insulation near a black module labeled Jaguar Land Rover.
• Access: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need the trunk emptied, and you’ll be lifting heavier carpet/foam layers. The stamping can be dusty and sits in a shadowed area.
• Note: The videos clarify an important detail: it’s not down in the spare wheel well—it’s forward of it, under the insulation closer to the rear seat backs.
• Tip: This spot is usually dark and the stamping is dot-matrix style—use Flashlight + OCR and scan it directly with ScanVin.app instead of trying to read it at an awkward angle.

3) VIN Plate Visible Through the Windshield (Dashboard Corner)

• Where to look: Stand outside the vehicle and look through the bottom corner of the windshield at the dash. On LHD vehicles it’s typically on the left side; on RHD vehicles it’s typically on the opposite side.
• Access: Low difficulty, but visibility depends on light and reflections on the glass.
• Note: If glare blocks it, change your viewing angle or shade the glass with your hand.
• Tip: Windshield glare is the main issue here—capture it instantly with the VIN scanner so you don’t misread characters through reflections.

4) Engine Bay (Chassis Stamping on Suspension Tower / Apron)

• Where to look: Open the hood. Locate the right-front suspension strut tower area (right side of the vehicle as you sit in it). The VIN is stamped on a vertical metal face of the tower/apron area, but it’s often partially obscured by hoses/lines (AC/coolant plumbing).
• Access: High difficulty. Tight viewing angle, vertical stamping, and it can be dirty/greasy. You may need a flashlight and a rag to wipe the surface.
• Note: Don’t force hoses or lines out of the way—just adjust your viewing/phone angle to see the full stamping.
• Tip: If the stamping is grimy or low-contrast, wipe it and use High Contrast AI Mode—use the free VIN reader to pick out faint characters without guessing.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• “I lifted the trunk mat and only see the spare wheel area.” On this Evoque, the stamping is typically forward of the spare wheel well, behind the rear seats, under a foam/insulation flap—lift the upper insulation layer, not just the floor panel.
• “The engine-bay VIN is there, but I can’t read it.” It’s often tucked behind hoses/lines and can be greasy—wipe it clean, use a flashlight, and try scanning from a slightly higher angle.
• Sticker vs. stamped VIN warning: Door-jamb labels can be replaced. For theft/cloning checks, always confirm the stamped body VIN matches the windshield and door label VIN.
