It's not the vin plate your looking for, it's a plate with the options your van was built with. Under the drivers seat :ok

Kev - I have the service book - more importantly - autocheck has told me all the previous owners - mileage records etc.

What was the question again? :lol:
Think it's all getting mixed up between vin number/ m codes
M codes are the options your bus left the factory with, so will tell you if yours left with a rev counter. So as kev says, look up your m codes on your service book, or White sticker stuck on van.
Vin number won't tell you this :D
