Police have pulled over a Mercedes with 753,186 miles on the clock, and made a surprising discovery.
When stopped by Police on the M6 in the Midlands, the motorist told Police that the vehicle was well maintained.
A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police said:
“This Mercedes with 753,186 miles on the clock was stopped on the M6 at junction 12.
“The owner described the vehicle as well maintained, however we discovered some defects which resulted in a PG9.
“The vehicle will now require a full MOT lifting the PG9.”
What is a PG9:
A Prohibition Notice (PG9) is an official ban preventing a vehicle or trailer from being used on public roads.
It is issued by DVSA examiners during roadside inspections when vehicles are identified as unfit or potentially unsafe to operate.
A PG9 notice aims to ensure road safety by immediately or conditionally halting the operation of vehicles presenting a safety risk.
