Can anyone suggest how to read this VIN?

really!? from the outside of the vehicle looking in thru the windshield...that's how a cop would do it....and if for some reason you cant then there are a number of other ways: for instance, it is not all that difficult to read upside down printed text...where it becomes difficult is if it is written in cursive....and it you MUST...there is always the mirror function in gimp.

What else apart from gimp?

You can use a phone, take a picture and flip it. I did picture bellow with GIMP.

You mean make a string of the number? I would try to fix it to horizontal, then mess with the contrast to make the digits clear and use some image to text tool to pull the number in ASCII from a selection.
Or manually write it down...

Google Lens.

They read everything, even death metal band logos.

fernandel many thanks for this

Does anyone else read this as ESAFHV8IS00102495 ?

The VIN database does not find a match.

I'm not sure the first digit is an "E", but I think the rest is good...

LSAFHV81S00102495
IMO this is correct

L is more likely, yes. Just look at the reflection of the letters, it carries more of the lower area of the text.

Or, having a look at this on the big screen (and coffee) - could this be J ?

 

[Alain De Vos]

A.I. says JSA :
- J (Japan)
- S (Suzuki)
- A (Aichi : Toyokawa production plant)
- F
- HV81S : Suzuki Ignis Sport

On the B&W picture you can se "J" better:
balanga in GIMP - Image - Transform you have what you need to rotate image.

Using J instead of L

VIN: JSAFHV81S00102495

How long before we see posts asking about to diagnose their dermatological problems?
Hopefully not private parts.
