FAQWhere do I find the VIN number to do the report - what does it look like ?
The VIN number can be found in different places depending on the model of car. First try checking your registration or insurance details to see if it's listed, it's a 17-character VIN, which does not include the letters I (i), O (o), or Q (q) (to avoid confusion with numerals 1 and 0). The other places you can check are -
- At the front of the engine. This should be easy to spot by popping open the bonnet, and looking at the front of the engine.
- At the front of the car frame, near the container that holds windshield washer fluid.
- At a rear wheel well. Try looking up, directly above the tire.
- Inside the driver-side doorjam. Open the door, and look underneath where the side-view mirror would be located if the door was shut.
- At the driver-side doorpost. Open the door, and look near the spot where the door latches, not too far from the seatbelt.
- Underneath the spare tire.
- In the section between the bonnet and the windscreen.
