(Ex S211 E500, W212 E500, C216, S212 E500, W211 E500 5.5, W221 S500, S211 E500, SL500, S500, E55)
I have a vague memory of a vehicle history service that shows dates of changed ownership, previous advertised prices, and other “intelligence” that might help a buying decision.

All well beyond the usual HPI search or Government MoT history.

Can anyone remind me of where to look?
 
I got this info from Cazana a few years ago, but they do not exist any more, I don't think.
 
Recently used car check.co.uk for a tow vehicle gave me everything I needed except previous prices. Happy to recommend as the data I got was very much comprehensive and helped dodge a few bullets sample pages:View attachment 162634View attachment 162635View attachment 162635View attachment 162636View attachment 162634
But does it show the MOT dates and mileages on those dates? The car I've just bought was London Traffic Management ( LTM) , and apparently you have to apply to them to get the mileage's. Or is there anyone out there who knows of a different way to check mileages on a vehicle? I've heard that its possible to check correct mileage using iCarsoft, as that information is stored in several modules within the system. Anyone know how it's done?

I know that it's hidden at three or more, separate points within the vehicle,

and that you can use the OBD plug to access it,

but I don't know how it's actually done.

yes it does
 
Anyway, enough of the recommendations, let's cut to the chase; whatcha buying MikeinWimbers ?? 🤔
But I will admit that I nearly got diverted by this one, but one of you guys got there in less than 24 hours.

One owner, always garaged, annual MB main dealer servicing ....

Back to the master plan, grinding teeth gently....

Oooooh that’s nice.
 
Hi Connoisseur, I've searched the CN13WDG sample, but cannot find any MOT + Mileage references anywhere, which could be down to my failing eyesight..If you can even point out the relevant page Nr, I'd be gratefull!
Oooooh that’s nice.
Yes, it is very nice indeed !!! n

so the report provides a list of mileage registrations together with each MOT result and date, which put together provide the info needed. hth 🙂IMG_9227.pngIMG_9228.pngIMG_9228.pngIMG_9227.png
 
That’s a very precise bhp.
It's the .82 that could make all the difference as to whether than 5.5 litre engine can do....

20 in a 20mph limit.
 
Tried a couple of the check sites mentioned above this evening, one wanted me to register but did not send the link to confirm my email address, the other wanted lots of money for the full report. Disappointed.
