Where is the VIN number in Volvo V90 (2017-2018)?

This guide shows you where to find the VIN (chassis number) on the Volvo V90 produced between 2017 and 2018, including the quickest visible spot and the main stamped chassis location.

Chassis Number Locations

B-Pillar (door jamb) manufacturer sticker

• Where to look: Open the rear passenger-side door and look on the B-pillar (the center pillar between front and rear doors). You’ll find a black manufacturer label/sticker near the lower area by the door hinge zone.
• Access: You must open the rear door fully. Lighting is usually fine, but use your phone light if you’re in a garage. Stickers can peel or fade with age.
• Note: This is a great “quick check” VIN label, but it’s still a sticker—always compare it to the stamped chassis VIN when you can.
• Tip: If you’re reading white text on a black label, it scans cleanly—use your camera to scan it directly with ScanVin.app instead of copying characters by hand.

Floor VIN stamping (under front seat) — primary chassis stamping

• Where to look: Check the front footwell floor under the right-side front seat, at the front edge of the seat rail. There’s a pre-cut flap in the carpet—lift that flap to expose the VIN stamped into the metal chassis cross-member.
• Access: This one is awkward. Kneel outside the car and lean in, or slide the seat back for room. Expect poor lighting and some dirt/debris—wipe the metal stamp area if needed.
• Note: The stamping is consistently on the right-hand side of the vehicle. On LHD (EU/US) cars that’s commonly the passenger seat; on RHD cars it may be under the driver seat. If you don’t find it on one side, check the other footwell.
• Tip: Because it’s dark and hard to hold the phone steady, turn on your light and use the flashlight + OCR scan on ScanVin.app so you don’t misread a stamped character while contorted in the footwell.

Windshield VIN plate (dashboard)

• Where to look: From outside the car, look through the lower driver-side corner of the windshield at the dashboard. You’ll see the standard VIN plate visible under the glass.
• Access: No tools—just walk up and look through the glass. Reflections and glare from sky/overhead lights can make it tough to read or photograph. Wiper blades can partially block the view depending on their resting position.
• Note: This is the fastest “walk-around” VIN check and is commonly used for paperwork verification.
• Tip: If glare is washing out the digits, change your angle and capture it instantly with ScanVin.app to avoid transcription mistakes.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield glare/reflections: If you can’t read it through the glass, move to a steeper side angle or shade the area with your body; glare is the #1 reason people miscopy digits.
• Floor stamp is too dark/dirty: Lift the carpet flap fully, wipe the metal stamping, and use a flashlight—this spot sits in the footwell shadow and collects debris.
• Sticker validity warning: Door-jamb stickers can be replaced or damaged; for the most trustworthy check, compare the sticker VIN to the stamped chassis VIN.
