Where is the VIN in the Mitsubishi ASX?

This guide shows you where to locate the VIN/chassis number on the Mitsubishi ASX II (2015-2015) so you can match it to the registration documents and scan it accurately before buying parts or checking history.

Chassis Number Locations

1) Firewall / Bulkhead (Engine Bay – stamped into metal)

• Where to look: Open the hood and look straight to the back of the engine bay. The VIN is stamped into the metal firewall/bulkhead, roughly centered behind the engine, slightly below the cowl/wiper area.
• Access: Moderate. It’s set back deep, often in shadow. You may need to scrub/wipe the area to remove dirt/grime (and sometimes old inspection paint/marker).
• Note: This is the best “hard VIN” to compare against the sticker and paperwork.
• Tip: If the stamp is dirty or low-contrast, use the app’s camera with High Contrast AI Mode to scan it directly without misreading worn characters.

2) B-Pillar / Door Jamb VIN Sticker (tamper-proof label)

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door and check the B-pillar (the pillar between the front and rear doors). The label is typically low on the pillar and lists VIN plus weights/paint info.
• Access: Low difficulty. Clean, high-contrast, and protected from weather—usually the easiest VIN to read.
• Note: From the inspection footage, this sticker is commonly found on the passenger-side B-pillar in both LHD and RHD markets (passenger side changes depending on steering wheel position).
• Tip: This is the fastest one to capture—use the free VIN reader to scan the label with your phone instead of typing 17 characters.

3) Dashboard / Windshield VIN Plate (bottom corner of windshield)

• Where to look: Check the bottom corner of the windshield on the driver-side. Look through the glass from outside (or from inside with the dash in view).
• Access: Moderate. Usually visible, but reflections/glare can make it hard to read.
• Note: Not all videos focus on this, but it’s a common “quick check” spot on many modern vehicles.
• Tip: If glare washes out the numbers, change angle slightly and capture the VIN instantly so you don’t transpose characters.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Firewall VIN is hard to see: It’s deep in the engine bay and often shadowed—use a flashlight and wipe the stamping clean before trying to read/scan.
• Stamped characters look “faded” or painted over: Old inspection markings, grime, or light corrosion can hide the digits—clean gently and use a high-contrast scan mode.
• Sticker vs. stamp mismatch: Door-jamb labels can be replaced; the stamped firewall VIN is the primary identity check—if they don’t match, stop and verify the vehicle’s history/paperwork.

This guide covers the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) locations on the Mitsubishi ASX I (2010–2015), including the quickest label location and the stamped chassis marking in the engine bay.

Chassis Number Locations

Driver’s side B-pillar (door jamb) label

• Where to look: Open the driver’s door and look at the lower section of the B-pillar (the pillar between the front and rear doors). You’ll find a manufacturer sticker/plate with the VIN printed on it.
• Access: Easy access—no tools. If the label is scuffed from shoes or dirty, wipe it with a dry microfiber cloth.
• Note: This label is on the driver’s side, so it flips sides between LHD and RHD markets (LHD = left side of the car; RHD = right side).
• Tip: If the label text is small or partially worn, scan it directly with ScanVin.app so OCR grabs the VIN cleanly without you misreading characters like B/8 or S/5.

Engine bay VIN stamping (bulkhead/firewall)

• Where to look: Open the hood and go to the rear of the engine bay. The VIN is stamped into the metal firewall/bulkhead, slightly off-center (seen a bit to the right of center on LHD cars), behind the engine and below the plastic cowl/wiper area.
• Access: More awkward. Expect shadows from the hood, and you may need to lean in to see past hoses/wiring. Clean the stamping area—road grime can fill the characters.
• Note: The firewall stamping stays centrally located regardless of LHD/RHD.
• Tip: Because the stamping is often dark, low-contrast, and dirty, wipe it and then use ScanVin.app’s VIN scanner with a high-contrast capture to decipher faint stamped characters without squinting over the engine bay.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Firewall VIN hard to read: Shadow + dark painted metal makes the stamping look “blank.” Scrub the area lightly (microfiber + mild cleaner) and re-check from a higher angle.
• Hoses/wiring in the way: Don’t yank harnesses—just change your viewing angle and use a light so the stamped characters cast a shadow.
• Sticker/plate validity warning: A B-pillar label can be replaced—always confirm the B-pillar VIN matches the stamped firewall VIN and your paperwork before buying.
