A leaksear.ch-indexed Lloyd Motor Group Mercedes-Benz dataset contains 69,281 records tied to UK dealership customers, vehicle records, and service history, with a listed breach date of 14 April 2016 (leaksear.ch metadata). Lloyd Motor Group describes itself as one of the UK's largest independently owned, family-run car retailer groups, with locations across Cumbria, the North East, Lancashire, North Yorkshire, and the Scottish Borders (www.lloydmotorgroup.com).
What happened
Confirmed from the indexing metadata: the dataset is named Lloyd Motor Group Mercedes-Benz, was indexed on 24 May 2026, and carries a 14 April 2016 breach date (leaksear.ch metadata). The metadata does not identify how the data was exposed, and no supplied reference link attributes it to ransomware, scraping, a misconfigured system, or a third-party provider (leaksear.ch metadata).
Lloyd Motor Group's public site says the group provides vehicle sales, aftersales support, servicing, repairs, and MOTs, which is relevant context for a dataset that includes both customer contact fields and vehicle service fields (www.lloydmotorgroup.com).
What data was exposed
The leaksear.ch metadata lists searchable customer pivots for address, email, name, and phone (leaksear.ch metadata). Additional stored fields include salutations and titles, customer and vehicle identifiers, vehicle registration-related fields including REGNO and Date reg, delivery and date fields, MOT-related fields including Last MOT and MOT due, last and next service fields, status and location codes, quote/order-related fields, and other dealership system fields (leaksear.ch metadata).
Why this matters
Contact data combined with vehicle and service-history fields can support convincing phishing, smishing, or phone scams, especially where a message references a real dealership relationship, vehicle, MOT, or service event. The NCSC warns that criminals can use breach data to make scam messages appear legitimate, and that exposed phone numbers can also lead to suspicious calls (www.ncsc.gov.uk). The ICO advises affected people to ask the organisation what happened, what information was affected, and what steps are planned, while also watching for suspicious messages and unusual financial transactions (ico.org.uk). Anyone who previously dealt with Lloyd Motor Group Mercedes-Benz should check whether their name, email, phone number, or address appears in this leak.
