What the Lincoln MKS sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the MKS, latest tested year 2016:
The label also prints an estimated $3,100 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 446 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the MKS under Large Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the MKS's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2009 to 2016. Worth checking before you compare a MKS sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
Safety ratings printed on the label
The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the MKS sticker carries as of its 2016 rating:
Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.
What a used MKS sells for now

Where to find the VIN on a Lincoln MKS
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every MKS, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Lincoln MKS all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Lincoln MKS whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
