Summary

Plate AB1160KX check

This page is a short report on the car with plate AB1160KX — BMW 3 Series 2012, VIN WBA3E11050F296551, mileage 284k km, diesel engine, automatic gearbox and an asking price of $4,500. A plate check helps to quickly identify the car, see its market position and registration history before buying.

Insight: The car is over 10 years old — the condition of key units and rust affect price and risk the most. High mileage — service history and the condition of the engine and gearbox are decisive. Diesel — the condition of the fuel system and the DPF matters.

Market position

Based on current data, similar offers are available for the BMW 3 Series 2012 (same model, year ±2). Market prices range from $9,500 to $15,000 with a median of $12,300, and this offer is below the market: 63% under the median. This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history and value guidance.

Insight: The price is abnormally low — a higher risk of hidden problems.

History & registrations

The report includes registration data: owners — 3, transfers — 1, plate changes — 1, years in the registry — 5. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 06.12.2024. This data helps to understand the car’s legal history before buying.

Insight: A moderate number of owners (3) — typical for the car’s age. The plate was changed 1 time — such changes can split the history into separate episodes.
