Where is the VIN number in Peugeot 508 II [2019-2020]?

This guide covers the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) locations on the Peugeot 508 II [2019-2020], so you can quickly verify the car’s identity and match it to the registration, service history, and ECU diagnostics.

Chassis Number Locations

Windshield VIN (visible plate)

• Where to look: From outside the car, look through the lower corner of the windshield on the driver’s side. The VIN is usually shown in a small “window” within the black ceramic border.
• Access: Easy access, but glass glare/reflections can make it hard to read or photograph cleanly.
• Note: This is the fastest check during a viewing because you don’t need to open doors or the hood.
• Tip: If reflections keep washing out the characters, use your phone to scan it directly with the free VIN reader so you don’t misread a letter/number (like S/5 or B/8).

B-Pillar / Door Jamb VIN Label

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door and inspect the B-pillar/door jamb area for the manufacturer label (often includes VIN, tire pressures, and paint code).
• Access: Very easy; typically clean and high-contrast.
• Note: Label placement can vary slightly by market, but PSA vehicles commonly place it on the passenger-side jamb area.
• Tip: If you’re comparing paperwork to the car, capture the label with your phone using ScanVin.app to avoid transcription mistakes when copying the full 17 characters.

Engine Bay (stamped VIN / chassis number)

• Where to look: In the engine bay, locate the right-side inner wing (inner fender panel)—roughly midway between the headlight and the shock tower. The VIN/chassis number is stamped into the metal on the vertical panel (not on top of the shock tower). In the example, it sits just below nearby coolant hose routing.
• Access: Moderate difficulty. The area can be shadowed by the hood/engine components, and the stamped characters may be painted over, reducing contrast. Nearby hoses/reservoirs may be close but typically don’t fully block it.
• Note: “Right side” is the car’s right side (direction of travel). This stays the same for LHD/RHD; only which person sits nearest that side changes.
• Tip: Because stamped VINs can be low-contrast and dark in the corner, use a flashlight and scan it with High Contrast AI Mode to pull the characters out of the painted metal stamping.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield VIN glare: If sunlight reflects off the glass, move to the side, shade the area with your hand, or shoot from a slightly higher angle to reduce glare.
• Engine-bay stamping hard to read: Painted-over stampings need angled light—shine a flashlight from the side to create shadows in the characters before scanning.
• Sticker vs. stamping mismatch: Door-jamb labels can be replaced; if you’re checking for identity issues, always compare the windshield VIN + stamped VIN for consistency.
