Land Rover Discovery VIN Location – Where to Find Your VIN

Find your Land Rover Discovery VIN fast—check the driver-side windshield, door jamb label, and engine bay/frame stamp

Land Rover Discovery VIN Location

Your Land Rover Discovery VIN location is easy to find if you know the right spots. Start with the driver’s side interior dash, where the VIN sits on a plate visible through the windshield. Next, open the driver door and check the driver’s side door jamb B-pillar label. If you need a backup, look under the hood in the engine compartment, where Land Rover often uses a VIN plate, and check the front end of the frame for a stamped VIN on the chassis. Once you’ve got the 17-character number, run it through the Land Rover Discovery VIN Decoder to confirm the exact model, engine, trim, and factory details before you order parts, check history, or verify paperwork.

Land Rover Discovery VIN Locations

Land Rover Discovery VIN Location on the Driver’s Side Interior Dash

The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard, right at the base of the windshield. View it from outside the vehicle, looking through the lower corner of the windshield on the driver’s side.

Land Rover Discovery VIN Location on the Driver’s Side Door Jamb (B-Pillar)

The VIN is on the driver’s side door jamb, on the B-pillar. Open the driver door and look for the VIN label/sticker on the vertical pillar between the front and rear doors, right along the door opening.

Land Rover Discovery VIN Location at the Front End of the Frame

The VIN can also be stamped into the metal at the front end of the frame. Look underneath the front of the Discovery, near the front frame rail/chassis rail behind the bumper area. It’s not a sticker or plate—it's a pressed (engraved) 17-character stamp in the steel. You may need a flashlight and to wipe dirt or rust film to see the characters clearly.

QUICK TIPS

  • Use a flashlight. VIN stamps hide in shadows.
  • Clean before you read. Wipe dust, mud, and grease off plates.
  • Check more than one spot. Compare dash, door jamb, and frame/engine bay.
  • Read all 17 characters. Don’t guess the last digits.
  • Watch for look-alikes. 0 vs O, 1 vs I can fool you.
  • Take a photo, then zoom. It’s faster than squinting.
  • Verify it right away. Paste the VIN into Land Rover VIN Decoder to confirm the exact Land Rover details before parts, paperwork, or resale.
