Where is the VIN number in Toyota Auris (2013-2018)?

This guide shows where to find the VIN (chassis number) on the Toyota Auris II (2013–2018), including the quick-to-scan label and the hidden chassis stamping used for identity verification.

Chassis Number Locations

1) B-pillar / door jamb VIN label

• Where to look: Open the front door and look on the lower section of the B-pillar for a black/white manufacturer sticker (it also lists weights and paint codes).
• Access: Easy access, usually very readable, but the laminate can be worn and sunlight can cause glare.
• Note: On RHD cars this label may be on the opposite side—check the pillar revealed when you open the front door on the side that has the certification sticker.
• Tip: If glare is washing out the text, angle your phone slightly and scan it directly with ScanVin.app to capture the VIN cleanly without misreading similar characters (O/0, I/1).

2) Windshield / dashboard VIN plate

• Where to look: From outside the car, look through the lower corner of the windshield at the dash (driver side on most LHD cars, passenger side on RHD).
• Access: No tools needed, but reflections, tinted glass, and dirt on the windshield can make it hard to read or focus.
• Note: This is a “view-through-glass” VIN—great for quick checks, but don’t rely on it alone when verifying the car.
• Tip: To beat reflections, shade the area with your hand and capture the VIN instantly with ScanVin.app so you don’t have to manually transcribe through glass.

3) Stamped VIN on floor under the front seat (chassis)

• Where to look: Slide the front passenger seat back and look at the floor pan under/near the seat rails. Lift/pry up the small plastic trim flap in the carpet cutout to reveal the VIN stamped into the metal.
• Access: Harder—low light, needs you to unclip/lift the cover, and the stamped characters can be body-colored and dirty.
• Note: In the videos, the stamping is consistently on the passenger side: commonly right side on LHD and left side on RHD. If you don’t find it there, check the opposite front footwell floor before assuming it’s missing.
• Tip: Because this area is dark and the stamping can be low-contrast, turn on your phone light and use ScanVin.app’s flashlight + OCR scan to read the characters without guessing.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Floor stamp hard to read: Dirt/debris and body-color paint reduce contrast—slide the seat fully back, lift the flap, then wipe the metal and use a strong light.
• Windshield VIN unreadable: Glare/reflections and windshield dirt stop your camera focusing—clean the glass and change your viewing angle (don’t use flash directly at the glass).
• Sticker doesn’t prove identity by itself: Door-jamb labels can be damaged or replaced—always confirm the VIN matches the windshield and the stamped chassis VIN.
