Skoda Models & VIN Number Locations
For Škoda vehicles, the VIN number can typically be found in the following locations:
1. Dashboard
On most Škoda vehicles, the VIN is located on the driver's side dashboard, visible through the windshield.
2. Driver's Side Door Jamb
Open the driver's side door and look for a sticker or metal plate on the door frame. This label often contains the VIN along with other vehicle information.
3. Engine Compartment
The VIN may be stamped on the firewall within the engine compartment either in the center below the wipers or on the top of the inner wing
This location can be more challenging to access and may require cleaning to view clearly.
4. Chassis or Frame
In some models, especially older ones, the VIN is stamped on the chassis or frame.
For example, on the Škoda Octavia (2004–2012), the VIN is located on the right side reinforcement, around the source of the right shock absorber.
