I am looking for some help/advice with a recent find.

Hi all - I have located a somewhat seemingly rare/unusual 2006/55 plate C220CDI Avantgarde Auto.

The car comes with a number of 'at point of order factory additions.'

How is the OM 646 engine rated and one that has the then optional code MO 10 ?

The car is fitted with with the 722.6 auto gearbox and has recently had a new electro plate fitted.

The car is on 17" rims - 7.5" Front and 8.5 Rear Wheels with Pirelli tyres all round.

I has covered just 115,000 miles and has full MB dealership history.

The MO10 code refers to an updated 170PS engine over the standard 150PS...

Hi Craig. Thank you. Thereby in the eyes of ones insurance provider that must surely be flagged up when seeking a quote for insurance and especially when their tables will only show the car as having 148/150.

Having looked into various providers they are only listing the lower power rate.

Usually you only need to flag it if the car has been "Modified" - if the reg correlates to the VIN, then the insurance company should know the power rating for that car from DVLA.

If this M10 code was from the factory, I don't think you need to flag it unless it was a "mod"

Its a factory fir so no mod, no need to tell insurance co as they will have it all from in vin
