Summary

Smart Forfour 2018 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Smart Forfour 2018: VIN WME4530911Y167742, production year 2018, mileage 41k km, electric engine, automatic gearbox and an asking price of $8,200. 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: Low mileage for its age — the odometer reading is worth cross-checking with the history. EV — battery health and remaining capacity are key.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $8,080 to $11,140 with a median of $8,900, and this offer is below the market: 8% 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 below most similar listings — condition, trim or history usually explain the gap.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 2, transfers — 3, plate changes — 2, years in the registry — 2. The latest recorded operation: Imported from abroad and registered on 17.06.2022. 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 2 times — such changes can split the history into separate episodes. The car appeared in Ukraine recently — the history is short, its origin matters.
