Quick response
Quick Answer: The most reliable VIN location for the Mercedes-Benz Klasa E is the front right floor under the front seat (beneath a carpet flap). It’s typically stamped into the floor cross-member under the front passenger area (LHD). Use a flashlight—this spot is usually dark and easy to miss.
Where is the VIN number in Mercedes-Benz Klasa E (W214)?
This guide covers where to find the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the Mercedes-Benz Klasa E (W214) produced between 2021–2021, including the most common body/chassis stamping points and the quickest places to scan.
Chassis Number Locations
Front right floor (under front seat / carpet flap) 
- Where to look: Slide the front passenger seat back (typical for LHD), then locate the pre-cut slit/flap in the carpet in the front footwell floor area. Lift the flap to reveal the VIN stamped into the metal cross-member under the seat area.
- Access: Usually dark and tight on space; you may need your phone flashlight. If the car has aftermarket floor mats, remove them. If the battery is dead and the seat won’t move, access can be blocked.
- Note: This stamped floor VIN is commonly on the right side of the car (often the passenger side for LHD). If you don’t find it there, check the opposite front footwell.
- Tip: Because it’s shadowy under the seat, use the flash + OCR to scan the VIN directly with your phone instead of squinting and writing it down in a cramped position.
B-pillar door-jamb sticker (right side on many LHD cars) 
- Where to look: Open the front passenger door (common for LHD) and look on the B-pillar/door jamb for a black label with white text. It typically lists the VIN, paint code, and weight info.
- Access: Easiest location to reach, but the label can be peeled, faded, painted over, or missing after bodywork.
- Note: Label side can vary by market (LHD vs RHD), so check the opposite side if you don’t see it.
- Tip: The high-contrast label is perfect for a quick capture—use the free VIN reader to avoid transcription mistakes and instantly copy/share the number.
Windshield VIN plate (lower dashboard, driver-side corner) 
- Where to look: From outside the car, look through the lower corner of the windshield at the dashboard area (typically driver-side).
- Access: Fast to check, but glare/reflections can make it hard to read and photograph cleanly.
- Note: Clear any papers/tickets from the dash so the plate is visible.
- Tip: If reflections fight your camera focus, capture it with your phone in one clean shot and let OCR pull the characters without you guessing.
Engine bay stamped VIN (right inner wing area) 
- Where to look: Open the hood and inspect the right-side inner fender/inner wing support area. The VIN is typically stamped vertically into the metal near structural members (often close to the suspension tower/coolant reservoir zone).
- Access: Often dirty/greasy, sometimes partially blocked by hoses/wiring; you may need to wipe/scrub the metal for visibility.
- Note: This is a good cross-check location when verifying the car’s identity against documents/labels.
- Tip: After wiping grime off, scan it in high-contrast mode to help decode faint or dusty stampings on vertical metal surfaces.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting
- Can’t access the floor VIN: If the electric seat won’t move (dead battery), you may not reach the carpet flap—start with the B-pillar label and windshield VIN first.
- Engine bay VIN unreadable: Road dust/grease can hide the stamping—spray mild cleaner, wipe, then re-check with a light at an angle.
- Sticker vs stamped VIN mismatch: Door stickers can be replaced after repairs—when buying, always compare documents + B-pillar label + stamped body VIN (floor/engine bay) for consistency.
