Summary

Ford Escape 2012 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Ford Escape 2012: VIN 1FMCU9J92DUB78747, production year 2012, mileage 242k km, petrol engine, automatic gearbox and an asking price of $9,300. 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, year ±2). Market prices range from $8,760 to $12,160 with a median of $10,250, and this offer is below the market: 9% 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 possible bargaining.

Insight: The price is below most similar listings — condition, trim or history usually explain the gap.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 2, transfers — 2, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — 1. The latest recorded operation: Imported from abroad and registered on 19.06.2021. 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. There were transfers but the plate stayed the same — the history was not broken up by plate changes. Transfers without plate changes — possible re-registrations to trusted persons without a change of the real owner.
