VIN number questons

The VIN plaque on the dash

I understand that - the thing is - that tag... doesn't match the 6 digit serial number that is written on the fender. (as I understand it) the 6/7 digit serial numbers are printed on the fender tag (drivers side). But what I'd like to know is - are there any other full VIN codes located on the body.

I just want to make sure that I'm not in possession of a stolen car.


TLDR: Bought a car - VIN tag was attached with silicon - it doesn't match the serial number on the fender.

May be a stupid question but could you run the window tag and then compare that with your car and see if it all matches. It should tell you year make colour and options If it doesn’t match your car then you would know something was up
