Where is the VIN number in Nissan Juke (Juke I [2011-2015])?

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.
