Where the Vauxhall VIN number is located
The code is located in several places on the car for easy verification. The main places where you can find the Vauxhall VIN number are:
- On the dashboard on the driver's side, under the windshield.
- On the driver's door pillar, at the level of the lock.
- Under the hood, on the engine compartment partition or metal plate.
- In the trunk, under the carpet or next to the spare wheel.
- In the vehicle documents, such as the technical passport or insurance policy.
It is recommended to check the VIN on the car against the one specified in the documents to rule out discrepancies or attempts at forgery.

Vauxhall VIN decoding
Each character in a Vauxhall VIN has its own meaning and reveals important information about the vehicle. The decryption is as follows:
- The first three characters (WMI) indicate the manufacturer and region of assembly. For Vauxhall, this is usually W0L (Germany).
- Characters 4–8 (VDS). These convey information about the model, body type, engine, and transmission.
- Character 9. This is a check digit to confirm the authenticity of the VIN.
- Character 10. This indicates the year of manufacture of the vehicle. For example, the letter “J” corresponds to 2018.
- Last characters. These are the unique serial number on the assembly line.
