Where is the VIN number in Peugeot 3008 (Peugeot 3008 II [2016-2021])?

This guide covers where to find the VIN (vehicle identification number) on the Peugeot 3008 II [2016-2021] produced between 2016 and 2021, including the easiest sticker location and the stamped chassis number in the engine bay.

Chassis Number Locations

1) Driver-side B-pillar / door jamb VIN sticker

• Where to look: Open the front door and inspect the B-pillar / door shut area. Look for a manufacturer label sticker with the VIN plus weights/paint info, usually on the lower section of the B-pillar or on the rear edge of the door frame.
• Access: Very low difficulty. No tools needed; just open the door and wipe dust off the label if needed.
• Note: On LHD cars it’s typically on the left side of the vehicle. On RHD cars it may appear on the opposite side depending on market/assembly—check the pillar on the side you access most often.
• Tip: Because the label is vertical and high-contrast, you can scan it directly with your phone instead of typing the characters and risking a 0/O or 1/I mistake.

2) VIN plate visible through the windshield (lower corner)

• Where to look: From outside the car, look through the lower corner of the windshield at the VIN plate sitting on top of the dash.
• Access: Easy to reach, but reflections and glare on the glass can make it annoying to read.
• Note: On LHD models it’s typically on the left lower corner; on RHD models it’s typically on the right lower corner.
• Tip: If glare is washing out the numbers, capture it instantly with ScanVin by changing your angle slightly so the camera grabs the VIN before reflections ruin readability.

3) Engine bay stamped VIN (chassis stamp on strut tower/inner wing)

• Where to look: Open the hood and go to the right-hand side of the engine bay (vehicle-right inner wing/strut tower area). The VIN is stamped directly into the metal on the top of the wheel arch / shock mounting area, commonly near the coolant expansion tank (often a round reservoir with a blue/black cap).
• Access: Moderate difficulty. The stamping is often body-colored, can be dirty, and may sit near hoses—wipe and reposition your light to make the characters pop.
• Note: “Left/right” here is always vehicle-left/vehicle-right (as you sit in the car). This spot is on the right-hand side of the vehicle for this generation.
• Tip: If the stamping is low-contrast or grimy, clean it and use High Contrast AI scanning so the app can pick the characters out of the painted metal.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield VIN has heavy reflections: Move the car out of direct sun, tilt your viewing angle, and avoid shooting straight-on through the glass.
• Engine-bay stamp is hard to read (paint/dirt/low contrast): Scrub the area with a rag and mild cleaner, then shine a light at a shallow angle to create shadows in the stamped characters.
• Sticker VIN vs stamped VIN mismatch: Door stickers can be replaced; if anything looks tampered with, cross-check the windshield VIN and the stamped chassis VIN before buying.
