Just got an E825 can’t find the vin anywhere, not on dash behind steering wheel or inside rear roof. Any other locations to find the year of this vehicle ---

I don’t know if they had a secondary vin stamp or not, maybe @Old_Houseboater knows. You can look at the motor, if it’s original, 3 hp = 1999-2001, 5 hp = 2002 - 2004. Controller (T1 / T2) and charger (Schott / Zivan) can also narrow it down. But again, they need to be original to help in these regards Hope that helps ---
