Where is the VIN number in Mitsubishi ASX (ASX I [2010-2015])?

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.
