Summary

Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2004 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2004: VIN WDB2201841A390951, production year 2004, mileage 300k km, petrol engine, automatic gearbox and an asking price of $5,000. 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 15 years old — running costs are higher; the key inspection points are the body and anti-corrosion treatment. High mileage — service history and the condition of the engine and gearbox are decisive.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $4,430 to $9,970 with a median of $7,250, and this offer is below the market: 31% under the median. This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history.

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

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 2, transfers — 2, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — 1. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 27.01.2024. 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.
