Where is the VIN number in Peugeot 2008 (Peugeot 2008 I [2013-2018])?

This guide covers the VIN number locations for the Peugeot 2008 I (2013–2018). Use these checks to confirm the VIN matches your documents before registration, insurance, or purchase.

Chassis Number Locations

B-Pillar / Door Jamb VIN Sticker

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door (LHD) and inspect the B-pillar (the post between the front and rear doors). Look for a silver/grey manufacturer data label placed low on the pillar area (sometimes near the door edge).
• Access: Easy access and usually well-lit. The main issue is wear—labels can peel, scratch, or fade.
• Note: The reference video is a RHD car, so this sticker may appear on the opposite side compared to your vehicle. For LHD, start on the front passenger-side door opening, then check the other side if needed.
• Tip: If the print is light or partially damaged, scan the sticker with your phone to let OCR capture the characters cleanly without guesswork.

Windshield / Dashboard VIN Plate (Visible Through Glass)

• Where to look: Stand outside the car and look through the windshield at the lower corner of the dashboard (commonly the passenger-side on LHD, but it can vary by market). You’re looking for a VIN plate visible through the glass.
• Access: Very quick to check, but reflections and windshield glare can make it hard to read. Dirt and leaves can also collect at the base of the glass.
• Note: On the video vehicle (RHD), the windshield VIN appears mirrored versus most LHD cars—check the opposite lower corner if you don’t see it immediately.
• Tip: If glare is hiding the digits, capture it instantly with the VIN scanner so you don’t misread characters like 8/B or 5/S.

Engine Bay (Stamped Chassis / VIN on Inner Wing Area)

• Where to look: Open the hood and inspect the inner wing / chassis leg area near the engine mount on the right-hand side of the vehicle (when seated inside, that’s the vehicle’s right; when facing the car from the front, it’s on your left). Look for a VIN stamped into the metal on a flat/raised section near the strut tower/chassis rail area.
• Access: Usually readable, but can be blocked by hoses/cable looms and hidden by shadows. It also collects grease/dirt, so you may need to wipe it clean.
• Note: Don’t confuse the engine number (stamped on the engine/transmission housing) with the VIN (stamped into the body/chassis metal).
• Tip: If it’s dirty or the stamp is faint, wipe it and then use High Contrast AI scanning to pull the characters out of greasy metal and shadows.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield glare/reflections: Change your viewing angle, shade the glass with your hand, or scan from inside/outside to reduce glare.
• Engine bay stamp is dirty or shadowed: Scrub the stamped area with a rag and use a flashlight—hoses and wiring often cast shadows over the stamp.
• Sticker doesn’t “prove” the car alone: A door jamb label can be replaced—always cross-check the windshield VIN + chassis stamp + paperwork for a match.
