Summary

Chevrolet Cruze 2012 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Chevrolet Cruze 2012: VIN KL1JA6959DK010562, production year 2012, mileage 325k km, petrol engine, automatic gearbox and an asking price of $6,250. 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. 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 $5,800 to $8,200 with a median of $6,999, and this offer is below the market: 11% 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 — 0, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — under a year. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 01.08.2026. 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 car appeared in Ukraine recently — the history is short, its origin matters.
