The public federal record on N7162M, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 17, 1998, 31 years after the 1967 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 7569 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N7162M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 175 (serial 55462, cancelled November 16, 1967). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NTSB records 1
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Bell 47G-4A · operated under 137
The pilots failure to follow written instructions in the flight manual for an engine failure, and the improper use of flight controls (cyclic/collective) during an autorotation resulting in a hard landing, and collision of the main rotor blades with the tailboom assembly. Contributing to the accident was the improper installation of circlips on the counterweight assembly during an engine overhaul. This resulted in a subsequent total failure of the number 5 connecting rod.
