Where is the VIN in the Nissan Juke?

This guide shows where to find the VIN/chassis number on the Nissan Juke (II [2015-2015]) produced between 2015 and 2015, including the easiest “scan-from-outside” spot and the stamped chassis locations used for verification.

Chassis Number Locations

Engine Bay – Bulkhead/Firewall Stamp (under cowl access flap)

• Where to look: Open the hood and move to the back of the engine bay (near the windshield). On the plastic cowl panel (below the wipers), locate a rectangular access cover/flap (typically slightly toward the right side of the car on LHD vehicles). Open that flap to see the VIN stamped into the metal firewall/bulkhead underneath.
• Access: High difficulty. You’ll need to pry/lift the plastic cover and aim your phone into a deep, shadowy cavity. Expect dirt buildup—wipe the area before trying to read it.
• Note: On RHD markets the access flap may appear on the opposite side, but the VIN is still on the firewall in the same general area under the cowl.
• Tip: Because the stamp is dark and recessed, use ScanVin.app to scan it directly with your phone (flashlight + OCR) so you don’t have to contort your wrist and guess characters through the small opening.

Dashboard VIN Plate (view through windshield)

• Where to look: From outside the car, look through the windshield at the lower corner (typically right side of the car for LHD). You’ll see a VIN plate readable through the glass.
• Access: Low difficulty. No tools—just get close to the glass and line up your camera.
• Note: If the windshield is wet or dusty, the VIN can be harder to capture cleanly.
• Tip: To beat glare/reflections and raindrops, use the VIN scanner on ScanVin.app to capture it instantly instead of manually transcribing letters/numbers through the glass.

B-Pillar / Door Jamb VIN Label (sticker)

• Where to look: Open a front door and check the lower B-pillar/door jamb area for a VIN/vehicle information sticker.
• Access: Very low difficulty. The label is high-contrast and usually clean compared to under-hood stamps.
• Note: Label placement can vary by market/side—check both sides if you don’t see it immediately.
• Tip: This is one of the fastest scans—use ScanVin.app to scan the label so you avoid typo errors when copying a long 17-character VIN.

Floor VIN Stamp (under carpet flap – market dependent)

• Where to look: Inside the cabin, check the front footwell floor for a carpet cutout/flap. Lift it to reveal the VIN stamped into the chassis floor.
• Access: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need to move mats, lift the flap, and work in a tight footwell with poor lighting.
• Note (important): This is commonly on the passenger side for LHD vehicles, but check the driver side footwell if not found.
• Tip: Footwells are dim and awkward for reading—use ScanVin.app to scan with flashlight + OCR so you don’t have to kneel and write it down.

Engine Block Number (engine number, not the VIN)

• Where to look: On a machined flat surface (boss) on the engine block itself. It may be partly hidden by hoses/intake components.
• Access: Extreme difficulty. Often greasy, corroded, or buried—cleaning and a precise camera angle are usually required.
• Note: This is typically an engine number, used for mechanical/registration verification in some regions—not the easiest place to confirm the 17-digit VIN.
• Tip: If the stamping is oily or faint, use ScanVin.app in high-contrast scanning to help decipher worn characters instead of guessing.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Firewall/cowl VIN is “missing”: It’s usually just too dark and recessed—pry the access flap fully open, shine a light straight down, and wipe grime off the stamped metal.
• Windshield VIN won’t scan: Glare, reflections, or water droplets can obscure characters—change your angle, shade the plate with your hand, and clean the glass.
• Door-jamb sticker doesn’t match: Stickers can be replaced after repainting/repairs—for verification, compare against a stamped chassis VIN (firewall/floor) and your paperwork.

This guide covers all verified VIN (chassis number) locations on the Nissan Juke I (2011–2015), including the easy “everyday” labels and the harder-to-reach stamped chassis numbers.

Chassis Number Locations

B-Pillar / Door Jamb

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door (LHD) and look at the lower B-pillar (the post between the front and rear doors). You’ll find a sticker/label with the VIN printed on it.
• Access: Low difficulty. No tools needed—just open the door and read it.
• Note: Side can vary by market; if it’s not on the passenger-side B-pillar, check the opposite side.
• Tip: For the quickest result, scan it directly with your phone to avoid misreading small characters.

Dashboard (Windshield)

• Where to look: VIN plate visible through the bottom corner of the windshield (typically passenger side on LHD cars), viewed from outside the vehicle.
• Access: Medium difficulty. It’s easy to reach but can be hard to read due to reflections, water droplets, or glare on the glass.
• Note: On RHD cars, this commonly appears on the opposite side of the windshield.
• Tip: If glare is hiding characters, capture it with the free VIN reader so you don’t have to transcribe it through reflections.

Engine Bay (Data Plate on Strut Tower)

• Where to look: Open the hood and locate the metal manufacturer’s plate riveted to the top of the strut tower.
  On LHD cars, it’s typically on the passenger-side strut tower; on RHD it may appear on the opposite side.
• Access: Low to Medium difficulty. Easy to reach, but the plate is often dusty/greasy and the text is small.
• Note: LHD/RHD flips the side, but it’s always on a strut tower top area.
• Tip: Wipe the plate, then scan it with your camera so OCR can pick up small print without you squinting.

Engine Bay (Chassis Stamped on Firewall/Cowl)

• Where to look: At the back of the engine bay, find the VIN stamped into the metal firewall/bulkhead near the center, slightly below the plastic cowl trim. It sits down in a recessed area—often inside a “hole/opening” under the cowl edge.
• Access: High difficulty. It’s shadowed and recessed; dirt buildup is common. You may need a flashlight and a brush/rag to clean the stamping.
• Note: This stamping stays central, but what blocks your view can vary slightly between LHD/RHD.
• Tip: After cleaning, use High Contrast AI Mode to scan it—it helps decipher faint or dirty stamped characters in deep shadows.

Floor / Under Seat (Stamped)

• Where to look: Slide the front seat back and lift the pre-cut flap in the carpet to expose the VIN stamped into the chassis cross-member under the seat area.
• Access: Medium difficulty. You must move the seat and lift the carpet flap; lighting is poor down there.
• Note (important): Check the front footwell floor (commonly on the passenger side for LHD vehicles, but check the driver side footwell if not found).
• Tip: Because it’s dark and awkward to reach, use Flashlight + OCR to scan it so you don’t have to write it down in an uncomfortable position.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Stamped VINs in the engine bay are hard to read: grime and deep shadows under the cowl can hide characters—scrub the area and use strong light before scanning.
• Under-seat/floor VIN access is awkward: you’ll need to slide the seat and lift the carpet flap; take a stable photo/scan to avoid copying errors.
• Sticker labels can be missing or replaced: always cross-check the door-jamb label against a stamped chassis VIN (firewall or floor) for authenticity.
