Where is the VIN number in Renault Megane (Megane V [2021-2021])?

This guide covers the VIN (chassis number) locations for the Renault Megane V [2021-2021] produced between 2021–2021, focusing on the Megane E‑Tech Electric layout.

Chassis Number Locations

B-Pillar Label (Right Side)

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door (LHD vehicle shown) and look at the lower section of the right-side B-pillar. You’ll find a black sticker with the VIN plus paint/production details.
• Access: Very Low difficulty — no tools required, usually clean and easy to read.
• Note: The reference vehicle is LHD; “right side” means the passenger side in most LHD markets (but always follow the vehicle’s left/right as seated in the car).
• Tip: Because the label is high-contrast but can still be mis-copied character-by-character, scan it directly with your phone to capture the VIN cleanly in one shot.

Engine Block / E-Motor Casing (Front/Bottom)

• Where to look: In the front compartment, the VIN is dot-peened (engraved) on a flat machined pad on the front face of the electric motor casing, low down and deep in the bay, below the inverter/electronics area.
• Access: Extreme difficulty — it sits deep behind hoses/trim; you may have to lower your arm and angle your phone diagonally to even see it. Autofocus often struggles in the dark, tight space.
• Note: This spot is much harder to access than on many petrol/diesel Megane models—expect tight clearances on the E‑Tech.
• Tip: Since it’s hard to reach and easy to fumble while trying to write it down, use the VIN scanner to capture it quickly (use a strong flashlight and steady your phone to help the camera lock focus).

Windshield VIN (Dashboard)

• Where to look: Check the lower corner of the windshield on the driver’s side, viewed from outside through the glass (dashboard VIN window area).
• Access: Low difficulty, but reflections/glare can make it annoying to read.
• Note: Works best when the glass is clean and you’re not facing direct sunlight.
• Tip: If glare/reflections wash out characters, capture it instantly with ScanVin so you don’t transpose letters/numbers while squinting through the glass.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Engine-bay VIN won’t show up on camera: It’s deep, dark, and surrounded by hoses—use a bright flashlight, hold the phone at an angle, and take multiple still shots until focus catches the dot-peened pad.
• Windshield VIN is unreadable due to glare: Change your viewing angle, shade the VIN window with your hand, and clean the glass inside/out before trying again.
• Sticker vs. stamped VIN: Door/pillar stickers can be replaced—if you’re verifying the vehicle for purchase or inspection, cross-check the label VIN against the stamped/engraved VIN location when possible.
