An automated assessment based on available data — not a substitute for an independent inspection or professional legal/financial advice.
- No active driving ban and current besiktning valid until 2028
- 17 owners is unusually high turnover for the car's age
- Mileage history is too thin to confirm plausibility or rule out rollback risk
- Significant model mismatch between ad and registry raises questions about listing accuracy
- No accident/damage history source available to check for prior collision
Ad vs. registry data check
3 fields didn't match between the ad and verified registry data — see details below.
- Model: the listing says "Övriga", but the vehicle registry shows "W201" (significant difference)
- Trim/spec: the listing says "190 E Coilovers & Borbet Fälgar", but the vehicle registry shows "Log in" (minor difference)
- Fuel type: the listing says "Bensin", but the vehicle registry shows "Petrol" (minor difference)

🛣️ Mileage analysis
The car shows 215,000 km currently, with only one prior registry data point (212,010 km recorded 2026-07-27) to compare against. This gives an average of roughly 6,143 km/year over its life, well below the typical 12,000-18,000 km/year range for this segment — plausible for a car that may have been used lightly or as a weekend/project car, but the single data point means rollback risk cannot be confidently assessed either way (classified as inconclusive).

Confidence: Low
💰 Market valuation
Asking 51,800 SEK — fair range 51,800–51,800 SEK (Fair price, from 0 comparables).
Not enough genuine comparable listings were found to estimate a fair market value range for this vehicle.
💳 Estimated ownership cost (annual)
- 🧾 Road tax
- 0 SEK
- 🛡️ Insurance
- 2,500–5,500 SEK
- ⛽ Fuel/electricity
- 10,913 SEK
- 🔧 Maintenance (baseline)
- 8,900 SEK
- 💰 Total
- 22,313–25,313 SEK
Annual fuel cost is estimated at 10,913 SEK, but note this assumes 10,000 km/year of driving rather than this specific car's own recorded mileage pattern (which appears lower). Maintenance is estimated at 8,900 SEK per year, typical for an older, mechanically simpler classic like the W201. Road tax data was not available for this vehicle. Insurance is a general estimate of 2,500-5,500 SEK/year for a car of this age and value in Sweden, not a quote from a specific insurer — actual premiums will vary by driver profile, usage, and insurer.
Recommendation
Interesting classic, but verify listing accuracy and ownership history before committing
This W201 benefits from dealer-sale consumer protections (konsumentköplagen) and currently has no driving ban or overdue besiktning. However, the ad significantly misrepresented the model, the car has passed through an unusually high number of owners, and there isn't enough mileage history to confidently rule out odometer inconsistencies. With no market valuation data to benchmark the 51,800 SEK asking price, and no damage history checked, there's enough uncertainty here to warrant negotiation and further due diligence rather than an outright purchase or rejection.
Suggested offer range: 42,000–47,000 SEK
✅ Before you buy
❓ Questions to ask the seller
- Why was the model listed as 'Övriga' instead of W201 in the ad — was this an oversight or does the car have any modifications that caused confusion?
- Can you explain why the car has had 17 registered owners — was it used as a fleet, rental, or dealer-flip vehicle at any point?
- Do you have any older service records, inspection protocols, or registry printouts showing mileage from before 2026, to help establish a longer mileage history?
- The ad mentions coilovers and Borbet wheels — are these still fitted, and do they affect the car's originality or besiktning status?
- Has the car ever been in an accident or had insurance claims made against it, even if not reflected in official records?
🔍 Inspection checklist
- Verify the chassis/VIN plate matches registry details and confirm it is genuinely a W201, given the ad's incorrect model listing
- Check for rust in typical W201 problem areas (wheel arches, floor pans, sills) given the car's age and unknown accident history
- Inspect the fitted coilovers and Borbet wheels for correct fitment, wear, and any impact on ride height compliance for besiktning
- Request to see any available older mileage records or service stamps to cross-check the 215,000 km reading
- Test the manual gearbox and clutch engagement for wear consistent with claimed mileage
- Check for consistent wear patterns (pedals, seat, steering wheel) that align with a genuine ~215,000 km history
What this report doesn't cover
- No accident, insurance, or police-record source is checked — the damage assessment below reflects that gap, not a clean history.
- No community-sourced known-issues research is available for this model yet — the known-issues section is not populated.
- Road tax could not be read from either registry source for this vehicle — the ownership cost total below excludes it and is likely an underestimate.
- No market valuation or comparable listings were available to benchmark the asking price.
- No accident or insurance claim history source was available, so damage history could not be checked.
- Mileage history contains only a single prior data point, limiting confidence in rollback risk assessment.
- Road tax figure was not available for this vehicle.
- Insurance figures are general estimates, not vehicle-specific quotes.
- Recall data was not available for this vehicle.
