Where is the VIN number in Volvo V60 (V60 II [2019-2020])?

This guide covers the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) locations on the Volvo V60 II, produced between 2019–2020, so you can confirm the car’s identity during servicing, registration, or a pre-purchase inspection.

Chassis Number Locations

Windshield / Dashboard VIN tag

• Where to look: At the bottom corner of the windshield on the passenger side (viewed from outside). It’s a standard visible VIN plate behind the glass at the base of the dash.
• Access: Low to Medium effort. Easy to see, but reflections and glare can make it hard to read or photograph.
• Note: Most LHD (EU/US) cars have this on the passenger-side lower windshield corner.
• Tip: If glare washes out the characters, capture it instantly with the VIN scanner so you don’t misread letters/numbers through the glass.

B-pillar / Door pillar production label

• Where to look: Open the front door and check the door pillar (B-pillar area) for the type approval / production label (a high-contrast black/white sticker).
• Access: Low effort. No tools—just open the door and wipe dust off the label if needed.
• Note: Label placement can vary by market; it’s often on the passenger-side door pillar. On RHD vs LHD cars, the “passenger side” changes, so check both sides if you don’t see it immediately.
• Tip: This label scans cleanly—use the free VIN reader to OCR the code instead of manually typing a long string.

Floor VIN (stamped under carpet flap)

• Where to look: In the front footwell floor under the floor mat, beneath a pre-cut flap in the carpet. Lift the mat, then pull back the cut-out carpet section near the front seat rail area to reveal the stamped chassis number.
• Access: Medium effort. You’ll be prying/lifting trim and carpet; it’s usually dark down there—bring a flashlight.
• Note (LHD/RHD): Check the front footwell floor (commonly on the passenger side for LHD vehicles, but check the driver side footwell if not found).
• Tip: Because it’s shadowy and low to the ground, scan it using Flashlight + OCR to avoid awkward angles and transcription mistakes.

Firewall / Cowl (bulkhead stamping)

• Where to look: In the engine bay at the rear/top area, on the upper side of the bulkhead/firewall. You may need to look along the cowl line where the engine bay meets the cabin wall.
• Access: Medium effort. The stamping can be partially hidden by plastic cowling or seals—lift them carefully and use a light.
• Note: On some cars this area is easier to read from one side of the engine bay than the other—work slowly and don’t force brittle plastics.
• Tip: If you’re craning over the engine and can’t comfortably write it down, scan the stamping directly to avoid errors.

Engine block / transmission housing plate or sticker

• Where to look: Deep in the engine bay (center/rear area), slightly right of center when facing the car, on a vertical metal plate/sticker attached to the engine block or transmission housing.
• Access: High effort. Tight space, poor lighting, and the surface is often greasy—expect to use a flashlight and possibly degreaser.
• Note: This is more of a “deep verification” number—useful when you need to cross-check identity, but it’s not the fastest place to start.
• Tip: If grime and low contrast make characters hard to read, use High Contrast AI Mode to decipher it instead of guessing smudged digits.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield glare/reflections: Move your body angle, shade the VIN area with your hand, and clean the glass inside/outside to reduce reflections.
• Hidden/stamped VINs in dark areas (footwell/firewall): Use a strong flashlight and clean the stamping with a soft brush; dirt in the grooves will “erase” characters.
• Sticker vs. stamped VIN mismatch: Door pillar labels can be replaced—always cross-check at least one stamped VIN location before buying or registering the car.
