Where is the VIN number in Renault Clio V (2019-2021)?

This guide shows you exactly where to find the VIN (chassis number) on the Renault Clio V produced between 2019 and 2021, using the same locations you’ll see on real cars.

Chassis Number Locations

1) B-Pillar (Passenger Side) — Manufacturer Sticker (Label)

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door and look on the lower B-pillar. The label is below the door latch striker and includes the VIN plus weight/paint info.
• Access: Usually easy—just open the door fully. The main issue is getting your phone/camera square-on to the sticker.
• Note: On LHD (EU) cars this is typically on the right-side B-pillar (passenger side). On RHD (UK/Ireland) cars it mirrors to the left-side B-pillar.
• Tip: Because angle is the biggest enemy here, scan it directly with your phone using ScanVin.app instead of typing—your camera will capture the VIN cleanly even when you can’t stand perfectly in front of the pillar.

2) B-Pillar (Passenger Side) — Stamped Chassis VIN (Engraved in Metal)

• Where to look: On the same passenger-side B-pillar, find the vertical VIN stamping in the metal immediately above the sticker, between the hinge/check strap area and the latch striker area.
• Access: Moderate difficulty. The stamping is painted body color, so the characters have low contrast, and the VIN is vertical, which can be awkward to read.
• Note: Location mirrors with steering position: right B-pillar on LHD, left B-pillar on RHD.
• Tip: Use side-light to bring the embossing out—then capture it with the ScanVin.app VIN scanner to reduce mistakes from faint, vertical characters.

3) Windshield (Dashboard) — VIN Plate View

• Where to look: From outside the car, look through the lower passenger-side corner of the front windshield. The VIN appears in a small cutout in the black band at the bottom of the glass (white text on black).
• Access: Easy to locate, but glare/reflections can make it hard to read—especially in poor lighting (you may need a flashlight at night).
• Note: This is a quick “walk-up” VIN check point, but reflections can hide digits.
• Tip: If reflections are washing out the text, use ScanVin.app to scan the VIN instantly so you don’t misread characters like 8/B, 5/S, or 0/O.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield VIN glare: If the sun or streetlights reflect off the glass, change your viewing angle or shade the area with your hand to read/scan it clearly.
• Stamped VIN is hard to read: The stamped characters are often painted over—use a flashlight from the side to create shadows so the digits “pop.”
• Sticker vs. stamped VIN mismatch: B-pillar stickers can be replaced or damaged—for serious checks, confirm the VIN on the stamped body matches the label and your registration documents.
