Where is the VIN number in Toyota Auris (Toyota Auris III [2018-2018])?

This guide shows the VIN number locations on the Toyota Auris (Toyota Auris III [2018-2018]), covering vehicles produced between 2018–2018, with the easiest scan points first and the “hidden” chassis stamp last.

Chassis Number Locations

B-Pillar / Driver’s Door Jamb Sticker

• Where to look: Open the driver’s door and look on the B-pillar/door jamb for a black-and-white tamper-proof VIN sticker.
• Access: Easy. No tools—just open the door and wipe dust off the label if needed.
• Note: This is shown on LHD cars (steering wheel on the left).
• Tip: For the cleanest, fastest capture, use the high-contrast label to scan the VIN directly with your phone instead of typing it.

Windshield (Dashboard Corner)

• Where to look: Look through the lower corner of the front windshield at the VIN plate on the dashboard (on the LHD cars shown, it’s at the driver-side dashboard corner).
• Access: Low to moderate difficulty. Easy to see, but reflections/glare on glass can hide characters.
• Note: Best viewed from outside the car; angle your body to reduce reflections.
• Tip: If glare makes characters unreadable, capture it instantly with the VIN scanner—the camera locks it in before reflections wash it out.

Chassis / Floor (Stamped VIN Under Front Passenger Seat)

• Where to look: Slide the front passenger seat back. In the carpet, find a rectangular plastic cover/flap. Unclip/lift it to reveal the VIN stamped into the metal chassis.
• Access: Moderate. You’ll be working in a tight, dark footwell and must remove the small trim cover to expose the stamping.
• Note: On LHD cars this is commonly on the passenger side. If you don’t find it there, check the driver-side front footwell too.
• Tip: Because it’s usually shadowy under the seat, turn on Flashlight and scan it with OCR once the cover is off and the metal stamping is exposed.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Can’t see the stamped VIN under the seat: Slide the seat fully back, pry up the plastic flap, and use a flashlight—this area is often too dark to read without extra light.
• Windshield VIN has glare/reflections: Change your viewing angle, shade it with your hand, or read it from outside with the sun behind you.
• Sticker doesn’t “prove” the car by itself: Door-jamb stickers can be replaced—always make sure the stamped chassis VIN matches the windshield VIN, the sticker, and your documents.
