On every vehicle there should be a VIN plate which has the vehicles axle weights maximum allowed mass (MAM) and sometimes other information like engine numbers and paint codes. These plates or Anti theft stickers are required to be fitted to a structural part of the vehicles body which can not be removed or opened. Depending on the car they are usually located on the vehicles door shuts in the boot or under the bonnet.
