Where is the VIN number in Toyota Yaris (XP150)?

This guide covers the VIN (chassis number) locations for the Toyota Yaris (XP150) produced between 2017–2018, including the easiest scan points and the hidden stamped chassis marking.

Chassis Number Locations

B-Pillar Vehicle Identification Sticker

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door (for LHD cars: passenger side). On the lower section of the B-pillar (center pillar) you’ll find a black tamper-proof sticker with white text (VIN/chassis details).
• Access: Easy—no tools. Best visibility with the door fully open.
• Note: The inspection vehicle is RHD, where the sticker is shown on the left side. On LHD Yaris models, expect it on the opposite side (commonly the passenger-side B-pillar).
• Tip: If you’re buying the car, this is the quickest place to confirm the VIN—use your phone to scan it directly with ScanVin.app so you don’t mistype any characters.

Floor Stamped Chassis Number (Under Front Seat)

• Where to look: Inside the cabin, under the front right seat area. Slide the seat all the way back, then lift the pre-cut carpet flap (often Velcro/plastic clip) to reveal the VIN/chassis number stamped into the floor cross-member.
• Access: Moderate effort. You must move the seat and lift the carpet flap. Lighting is usually poor because the seat casts a shadow.
• Note: The report shows this on an RHD vehicle under the front right seat. For LHD vehicles, check the front footwell floor (commonly on the passenger side for LHD vehicles, but check the driver side footwell if not found).
• Tip: This spot is dark and awkward to read—use Flashlight + OCR and capture it with your phone using ScanVin.app so you don’t have to write it down while bent over in the doorway.

Engine Number on Engine Block (Not the VIN)

• Where to look: In the engine bay, locate the engine block. The engine number is stamped on a flat machined surface near the front/center-left area (when facing the car), just below the exhaust manifold heat shield, facing forward.
• Access: Harder than the sticker. It’s a dark area, often partly blocked by hoses/heat shield, and may be dirty with road grime/oil.
• Note: This is the engine number, not the cabin VIN label—use it for matching documents/registration checks where required.
• Tip: If the stamping is dirty or dot-matrix style, wipe the area and use High Contrast AI—then use the free VIN/number reader on ScanVin.app to improve readability when the characters don’t pop on camera.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Under-seat VIN is “missing”: It’s usually just covered—slide the seat back and lift the carpet flap (it can be stiff or clipped down).
• Engine number won’t read on camera: The area is often greasy/dusty and shadowed—scrub lightly with a rag and use a flashlight to avoid casting your own shadow.
• Sticker looks tampered or illegible: A damaged/peeling B-pillar label can be a red flag—always cross-check the sticker VIN against the stamped floor chassis number before you buy.
