Where is the VIN number in Renault Master III (Phase II) [2017-2018]?

This guide shows you where to find the VIN (chassis number) on the Renault Master III (Phase II) produced between 2017–2018, including the most common factory stamp and the easier-to-scan label.

Chassis Number Locations

1) Cabin Floor / Front Door Stepwell VIN Stamp (front footwell)

• Where to look: The VIN is stamped into the chassis metal in the cabin floor at the front door step/stepwell. Look for a rectangular cutout/inspection window in the plastic step trim; some vans have a carpet/insulation flap that you lift to see the stamp.
• Access: Open the front passenger door and pry up/remove the small rectangular cover in the step trim (or lift the floor covering). Expect debris in the recess; wipe/scrub the stamping so the characters pop. This area is typically dark—use a torch.
• Note: For LHD vans this is commonly on the passenger-side front footwell area, but check the driver-side footwell if you don’t find it on the first side (trim and market variations exist).
• Tip: Because the stamp sits in a recessed, shadowed pocket, use the phone flash and OCR to avoid misreading—scan it directly with ScanVin.app instead of guessing characters.

2) B-Pillar / Door Jamb VIN Label (tamper-proof sticker)

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door and check the B-pillar (between the front door and sliding door) or the door edge area—there’s a tamper-proof VIN/vehicle data sticker near the striker/latch zone or on adjacent trim.
• Access: Easy visual check; usually clean and high-contrast. If it’s scuffed from cargo use, wipe it with glass cleaner and a microfiber.
• Note: This label is excellent for quick ID, but the floor/chassis stamp is the one you match against when checking originality.
• Tip: If the sticker text is small, skip manual typing and use the free VIN reader to capture it cleanly in one shot.

3) Windshield / Dashboard VIN Plate (bottom corner)

• Where to look: View through the windshield at the bottom corner on the driver side (outside view looking in). The VIN is displayed behind the glass.
• Access: Clean the outside and inside of the glass; move your body angle to reduce reflections.
• Note: Fastest “walk-up” check, but always confirm it matches the door label and the floor stamp.
• Tip: Reflections and glare cause common transcription mistakes—capture it with your phone using ScanVin.app so you don’t mix up 8/B, 5/S, or 0/O.

4) Engine Bay / Engine–Gearbox Junction (engine number/VIN-related stamping)

• Where to look: Open the hood and look deep in the engine bay at the junction between the engine and gearbox. The marking is on a flat machined surface on the casing (often aluminum), partially hidden behind hoses/ducts/wiring.
• Access: Hard access and poor visibility—expect to use a flashlight and possibly a mirror. Dirt/oxidation reduces contrast, and the angle is awkward for reading.
• Note: The video demonstrates this on an LHD van; on RHD markets you may be working from the opposite side of the vehicle, but the marking remains at the engine/gearbox interface area.
• Tip: When the characters are low-contrast and you’re stuck at a bad angle, use ScanVin.app’s scanning to avoid writing it down manually—it’s faster and reduces errors.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Floor VIN not visible at first: Dirt collects in the stepwell recess and the stamp sits in shadow—pry the cover, scrub the metal, then use a strong light.
• Engine bay marking “impossible to read”: The surface is deep and partially blocked by hoses/wiring; use a flashlight and clean the area, and don’t expect an easy camera angle.
• Sticker missing or damaged: Door-jamb labels can peel or get scratched on work vans—always verify against the stamped chassis VIN before buying.
