AI summary
The official record for SAMPLE shows a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C220 D AMG LINE, obsidian black, diesel, with a 2.1-litre engine, first registered in June 2015.
It's taxed until 1 September 2026. The MOT is valid until 20 December 2026. The V5C logbook was last issued in January 2023, which often lines up with a change of keeper.
The free record looks in order, and the full MOT history below shows every test on record. What the free record can't show is provenance: write-offs, mileage anomalies and keeper changes. A Silver Vehicle History Report covers those; adding the outstanding-finance check makes it a Gold Vehicle History Report.
