Summary

Ford Explorer 2016 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Ford Explorer 2016: VIN 1FM5K8DH8GGC63333, production year 2016, mileage 195k km, petrol engine, automatic gearbox and an asking price of $13,500. Such a check helps to quickly understand how well a specific car matches the market, whether the price looks suspiciously low and whether the mileage is typical for this year.

Insight: The car is over 10 years old — the condition of key units and rust affect price and risk the most.

Market position

Based on current data, 19 similar offers were found for the Ford Explorer 2016 (same model and year). Market prices range from $12,490 to $24,400 with a median of $17,000, and this offer is about 12% below the market estimate (this car's estimate ≈ $15,316). This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history and possible bargaining.

Insight: The price is below the market estimate — condition, trim or history usually explain the gap.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 2, transfers — 1, plate changes — 1, years in the registry — 5. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 2024-03-26. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: A moderate number of owners (2) — typical for the car’s age. The plate was changed 1 time(s) — such changes can split the history into separate episodes.
