In the gutter of the scuttle panel at the back of the bonnet. Ahead of the (RHD) driver's position.

Yes, so if the scuttle has been replaced then it's probably gone. Nobody understands the DVLA system for re-stamping VINs into replaced panels, including the DVLA themselves, so it rarely gets done.

Why does that not surprise me.
