I'm about to acquire a second hand Vito.
Going to do the HPI check which needs me to verify the VIN on the vehicle for their guarantee.
Whereabouts is it located?

Thanks

What year is it?

There should be one on the lower edge of the windscreen to start with



Edit, I don't see one on the windscreen on mine


There should be a sticker on the passenger side B post

2007/57

I wasn't sure whether there's one stamped into the body somewhere in addition to the one under the windscreen.

There is also meant to be one on the driver side seat base underneath the plastic trim

I also don't see that one on mine

Do they stamp before they know it's going to be RHD or LHD!

I don't know what they do, but there will be a stamp somewhere

I found two.
One on the passenger B pillar (sticker) and, the other under the pollen filter flap (stamped).
Like yours, I couldn't see one under the windscreen anywhere, or, under any plastic flap by either seat.

Thanks, typical Mercedes, they just print any old rubbish in the handbook

Now I need to go and pull out my pollen filter and look for my Vin :shock:
