Where is the VIN number in Opel Zafira B (B)?

This guide covers the VIN (chassis number) locations on the Opel Zafira B (B) produced between 2006–2011, with the most reliable stamped VIN point first.

Chassis Number Locations

Front footwell floor VIN (under carpet flap, right side)

• Where to look: On the floor pan between the door sill and the front seat rails, under the carpet trim. Look for a rectangular plastic flap integrated into the carpet on the right side of the vehicle.
• Access: Slide the front seat fully back, lift the floor mat, find the rectangular cut-out near the sill, then pry up the plastic flap using the finger tab. The VIN is stamped into the metal chassis underneath. Expect dirt/debris buildup, dark shadows, and sometimes surface rust that reduces contrast.
• Note: On many Zafira B setups the stamped floor VIN is on the right side of the vehicle—commonly the passenger side on LHD cars. If you don’t find it there, check the opposite front footwell as well.
• Tip: Because this area is often dark and filthy, use ScanVin.app’s VIN scanner with flashlight + OCR to capture the characters without guessing.

Dashboard / windshield VIN plate (bottom corner)

• Where to look: At the bottom corner of the windshield (VIN visible from outside/through the glass on the dash area).
• Access: View it through the glass from outside, or from inside near the dash corner—no tools required, but glare/reflections can block the digits.
• Note: This is the quickest “visual check” VIN, but always match it to the stamped floor VIN when verifying a vehicle.
• Tip: If reflections make it hard to read, capture the VIN instantly with your phone using ScanVin.app to avoid transcription errors.

B-pillar / door jamb VIN sticker (vehicle information label)

• Where to look: On the B-pillar/door jamb area (often passenger side, sometimes driver side depending on market). It’s usually a black sticker showing the VIN plus weights/paint/option info.
• Access: Open the front door and inspect the pillar/jamb surfaces. Stickers can be worn, scratched, or peeling, which makes the VIN hard to confirm.
• Note: Treat this label as a supporting identifier—verify consistency with the stamped chassis VIN.
• Tip: If the label is faded, use ScanVin.app to scan and auto-read the VIN rather than trying to decode worn print by eye.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Heavy dirt/debris under the floor flap: Scrub the recess and wipe the stamped metal; packed grime can fill the characters and make “8/B” or “0/O” easy to misread.
• Low light + surface rust on the stamped VIN: Use a strong flashlight and change viewing angle; light corrosion lowers contrast and can fool cameras and the human eye.
• Sticker doesn’t match or is unreadable: Door-jamb labels can be replaced or damaged—always cross-check against the stamped chassis VIN before buying.
