Where the Renault VIN number is located
In most Renault vehicles, the VIN code is located in the engine compartment, in a place where it can be easily read and viewed. It may be one of the body elements – a strip, a suspension strut support on the right side of the vehicle. Other possible locations for the Renault VIN number:
- on the panel under the windscreen on the left;
- on the bodywork under the passenger's feet on the right;
- in the driver's door sill;
- on the pillar between the driver's and rear passenger doors.
Renault VIN decoding
Decoding a Renault VIN provides valuable information about a specific car. Each character has a specific meaning:
- Character 1: indicates the country of manufacture, for example, if it is ‘VF’, then it is France.
- Characters 2–3: brand code and vehicle type.
- Characters 4–8: model code and body type.
- Character 9: a check digit used to confirm the accuracy of the data.
- Characters 10–17: the car's serial number, which may include information about the year of manufacture, the manufacturing plant, and the configuration.
