Where is the VIN number in Peugeot 308 (Peugeot 308 III [2020-2020])?

This guide shows you where to find the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the Peugeot 308 (Peugeot 308 III [2020-2020]), produced between 2020–2020, including the most common body-stamped chassis location and the easiest label to scan.

Chassis Number Locations

1) B-Pillar / Door Jam (Sticker)

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door (LHD: front right door) and inspect the lower section of the B-pillar / door shut area. You’re looking for the manufacturer label that lists the VIN plus weights/ratings (and often paint info).
• Access: Low difficulty. No tools needed—just wipe dust off the sticker if it’s grimy.
• Note: This is the fastest “administrative” VIN to find and is usually the easiest to confirm visually.
• Tip: If you want to avoid misreading letters like B/8 or O/0, use your phone to scan the VIN directly with ScanVin.app from the sticker instead of typing it.

2) Engine Bay (Stamped Chassis Number)

• Where to look: Open the hood and go to the right-side inner wing / suspension strut tower area (right = passenger side on most LHD cars).
  • On many LHD cars, the VIN is stamped on the strut tower dome and may be visible through a cutout in the plastic trim/cowling.
  • On some layouts, it can be on the top of the inner wing rail near the washer filler neck, and you may need to lift a black plastic trim edge slightly to see the full stamping.
• Access: Moderate. The stamping can be low-contrast, dusty, and partially hidden by plastic trim—expect to lift trim gently and scrub dirt off the metal to read it.
• Note: The exact stamped spot can shift slightly by trim/engine layout and LHD vs RHD, but it stays in the right-side inner wing/strut tower zone.
• Tip: If the characters are faint or body-colored, use ScanVin.app’s camera scanner to capture it—its AI “high-contrast” style scanning helps decipher low-contrast stampings.

3) Windshield (Visible VIN)

• Where to look: Stand outside the vehicle and check the lower corner of the windshield on the passenger side (LHD). The VIN is printed on a plate visible through the glass.
• Access: Low to moderate. The main problems are sun glare/reflections and dirt buildup along the lower glass edge.
• Note: This is a convenient “walk-up” VIN for quick checks, but it can be harder to photograph cleanly in bright light.
• Tip: If reflections make it hard to read, capture it with the ScanVin.app VIN reader so you don’t transpose characters while squinting through the glass.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Stamped engine-bay VIN is hard to read: grime/oxidation and low-contrast stampings are common—wipe the area and use angled light to make the characters pop.
• Windshield VIN has glare: move your body/phone angle, shade the plate with your hand, or shoot when the sun isn’t directly hitting the glass.
• Sticker mismatch warning: the B-pillar label can be replaced—always cross-check the sticker VIN against the stamped chassis VIN before purchase/registration.
