Where is the VIN number in Volkswagen Caddy V ([2019-2019])?

This guide covers where to find the VIN (chassis number) on the Volkswagen Caddy V ([2019-2019]).

Chassis Number Locations

B-Pillar Sticker

• Where to look: Open the front passenger door (LHD: right side). Look low on the B-pillar/door frame for the manufacturer’s data sticker that includes the VIN.
• Access: Very easy—no tools. The only issue is wear, peeling, or damage to the sticker over time.
• Note: The videos are filmed on RHD cars, so the “passenger side” shown there is the left side. On LHD Caddy models, this sticker is typically on the right side.
• Tip: If the label is scuffed or the print is faint, use the free VIN reader to scan it cleanly with /en/scan-vin/ instead of guessing characters.

Lower Windshield (Dashboard VIN Plate)

• Where to look: Stand outside the vehicle and look through the bottom corner of the windshield on the passenger side (LHD: typically right side). The VIN is displayed on a plate visible through the glass.
• Access: No tools, but it can be hard to read due to glare/reflections and dirt/wiper marks.
• Note: RHD vs LHD can mirror which lower corner you check first—if you don’t see it on one corner, check the other.
• Tip: If reflections are washing it out, capture it instantly with your phone using /en/scan-vin/ so you don’t mistype the VIN.

Rear Cargo Area (Inner Quarter Panel) – Stamped VIN

• Where to look: Open the rear barn doors/tailgate. Inside the cargo area, find the rectangular inspection/access panel in the side wall trim near the rear light area. Remove the cover to reveal the VIN stamped vertically into the metal.
• Access: Tool-less cover removal, but it’s commonly dark inside the cavity with heavy shadows. Paint thickness can also hide parts of the stamping.
• Note: The videos show this on RHD vehicles. On LHD vehicles, the side trim location may be mirrored—check the opposite cargo side panel if you don’t find the access cover on the first side.
• Tip: Because it’s deep and shadowy, scan it with Flashlight + OCR using /en/scan-vin/ instead of struggling to read the vertical stamp.

Engine Bay (Strut Tower / Bulkhead Stamp)

• Where to look: Open the bonnet. Look on the right-hand side area near the strut tower/bulkhead (rain tray area) for a VIN stamped into the bodywork.
• Access: Usually reachable, but often dirty/dusty, and the view can be tight around hoses, lines, and plastic trims.
• Note: Don’t assume “driver side” here—use fixed reference points (right-hand side of the vehicle in the direction of travel) and search the bulkhead/strut tower area carefully.
• Tip: If the stamp is dusty or low-contrast, use High Contrast AI Mode to pick out faint characters by scanning with /en/scan-vin/.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Too dark to read (rear cargo stamp): Remove the access cover fully and use a strong light; the VIN is often vertical and shadowed inside the cavity.
• Dirty or obstructed engine-bay stamp: Wipe the area with a rag and reposition hoses/covers gently for a clear viewing angle (don’t force plastic clips).
• Sticker vs stamped VIN mismatch: Door-jamb stickers can be replaced or damaged—for verification, cross-check the sticker VIN against the windshield plate and a stamped body VIN.
