Where is the VIN number in Skoda Kodiaq (Skoda Kodiaq II [2020-2020])?

This guide covers the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) locations for the Skoda Kodiaq (Skoda Kodiaq II [2020-2020]) produced between 2020–2020, including the quickest places to check and the spots inspectors use to verify identity.

Chassis Number Locations

1) Engine Bay — Right Strut Tower (Stamped into Metal)

• Where to look: Open the hood and go to the right-hand side of the engine bay (right inner wing/strut tower). The VIN is stamped into the metal, positioned high up near the coolant expansion tank area; on the shown vehicle the characters are bracketed by star symbols.
• Access: Usually easy to reach, but the stamp can sit in shadow under the hood line and it often collects road dust/grime—wipe it down before reading.
• Note: “Right” means the vehicle’s right side (direction of travel). This does not change between LHD and RHD.
• Tip: If the stamp is dusty or the characters look faint, wipe it and then scan it in High Contrast AI mode with ScanVin.app so you don’t misread similar characters like B/8, S/5, or 0/O.

2) Windshield VIN Plate — Lower Corner of Dash (Viewed from Outside)

• Where to look: From outside the vehicle, look through the lower corner of the windshield at the VIN plate on top of the dashboard.
• Access: Quick check, but the glass often causes glare/reflections, and the corner can be partially blocked by wiper blades or debris.
• Note: On LHD vehicles this is typically on the left lower corner; on RHD vehicles it’s typically on the right lower corner.
• Tip: To beat windshield glare, change your angle slightly and capture it instantly with the ScanVin.app phone scanner instead of trying to hand-transcribe it through reflections.

3) B-Pillar / Door Jamb Identification Label (Type Plate)

• Where to look: Open a front door and check the B-pillar / door jamb area for the type plate/sticker that lists the VIN and vehicle weights.
• Access: Usually the easiest to read because it’s a high-contrast label, but it can be scratched, repainted over, or missing after body repairs.
• Note: Placement can vary by market—check both sides if you don’t see it immediately.
• Tip: If the label is scuffed or the print is light, use the ScanVin.app VIN reader to scan the sticker cleanly and reduce typing mistakes.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Engine bay stamp unreadable: Road grime and dust collect on the strut tower—scrub the stamped area gently (rag + mild cleaner), then re-check under better lighting.
• Windshield plate hard to capture: Glare/reflections can wash out the characters—move your body angle, shade the glass with your hand, or scan from a slightly higher position.
• Door-jamb sticker doesn’t prove everything: Labels can be replaced—always cross-check that the windshield VIN, engine bay stamp, and paperwork all match before buying.
