In this video, see where to find the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the Mercedes Vito/Viano. It is located on the bulkhead between the engine compartment and the cabin, visible from the engine side, just below the windscreen drip tray.

Remember that this is the only legal chassis number, the one actually stamped on the chassis. What you see on the plate at the bottom of the windscreen, driver's side, is a courtesy plate used to move the vehicle until it has registration plates.

The metal plate located on the thickness of the driver's door is a sort of "identity card" for the vehicle, placed by the manufacturer at the end of the production process.
