Chassis number

[mcgoo]

Hi I need to find where the chasis number is stamped in my 00 mini cooper sport. Can anyone help please

It should be on the windscreen scuttle panal in the groove that the bonnett sits into .
If the scuttle penal has been replaced it may not have been stamped in .
Or if the panal has been re painted it may be covered in with primer or paint .
Rub your finger under neath the lip if its there u will feel the roughness .

Welcome to getting an MPI through the NCT,

I usually now put a post-it with an arrow and VIN on it, on the scuttle panel when doing the NCT, after on instance when it was listed as one of the fails on the car.

I have also had fails regarding:
- missing the split pins on the ball joints; and
- the blub for the brake indicator light that illuminates on the dashboard when you pull your handbrake must be blown.


I would have a copy on the Rover technical Manual on your phone for when you are arguing that certain things were never on a Mini.

Good luck.

They give you a form either and you bring that to your local Garda station to be signed. I had to do it the last two years for nct on my 00
