Where is the VIN number in Renault Captur II [2020-2020]?

This guide shows you where to find the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the Renault Captur II produced between 2020 and 2020, including the quickest sticker location and the harder stamped chassis number in the boot.

Chassis Number Locations

B-Pillar Manufacturer Sticker (Passenger Side)

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door and look at the lower section of the B-pillar (the vertical post between the front and rear doors). You’ll see a white manufacturer label with the VIN plus weights/paint info printed on it.
• Access: Very easy—no tools needed, usually clean, and the black-on-white text is clear.
• Note: The video shows an RHD car where this sticker appears on the left side; for LHD (EU/US) Captur II, it’s typically on the right-side B-pillar (still the passenger side).
• Tip: Because it’s a vertical sticker that’s easy to light up, you can scan it directly with your phone to avoid mistyping long VIN characters.

Boot/Trunk Floor (Stamped Chassis Number Under Spare Wheel)

• Where to look: Open the tailgate, then:
  1. Lift the false boot floor panel
  2. Remove the carpet/felt cover over the spare wheel well
  3. Unscrew the plastic nut holding the jack/tool kit
  4. Lift out the foam organizer
  5. Remove the spare wheel
  6. Peel back/lift the felt lining under the spare wheel
  7. Find the VIN stamped into the metal floor pan, slightly off-center in the well
• Access: High difficulty—requires removing the boot floor layers and the spare wheel; the stamping is often low-contrast (same color as the body metal) and the well is dark.
• Note: This is a good “backup” VIN when the door sticker is missing/damaged, but it’s not a quick check.
• Tip: The spare wheel well is shadowy and the stamp can be faint—use Flashlight + OCR and scan the stamping with the free VIN reader so you don’t have to crouch and hand-copy characters.

Engine Block / Gearbox Label (Very Hard to View)

• Where to look: Open the hood. Near the battery area (right side when facing the engine), look down into the tight gap by the air intake hose / ECU area. There may be a dot-peen/laser-etched code and/or a QR/Data Matrix sticker on a metal surface.
• Access: Extreme difficulty—tight angles, poor lighting deep in the bay, and dirt/grease can hide characters. Filming/reading it is awkward without a special angle.
• Note: What you see here may be an engine/gearbox serial rather than the full VIN—use the B-pillar label or boot floor stamp as your primary VIN sources.
• Tip: If the code is greasy, etched, or partly obscured, use High Contrast AI Mode and capture it with your phone instead of trying to read it while leaning over the engine.

Windshield VIN Plate (Standard Location)

• Where to look: Check the lower corner of the windshield, readable from outside the vehicle (look through the glass at the base of the dash area).
• Access: Easy—no tools—but glare/reflections can make it annoying to read.
• Note: If you don’t see it immediately, change your viewing angle or shade the glass with your body.
• Tip: Reflections can scramble characters—scan the windshield VIN instantly so you don’t mix up “8/B”, “5/S”, or “0/O”.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Boot stamp is hard to see: The stamped VIN under the spare wheel is often dark and low-contrast—use a flashlight, wipe the metal, and scan from multiple angles.
• Engine bay code unreadable: Tight access + grime makes the engine/gearbox marking hard to confirm—clean gently and don’t rely on it as your main VIN source.
• Sticker vs. stamp mismatch: Door-jamb stickers can be replaced; always cross-check the sticker VIN against the stamped chassis VIN before buying.
