Summary

Hyundai Santa Fe 2008 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Hyundai Santa Fe 2008: VIN KMHSH81WP8U335666, production year 2008, mileage 177k km, diesel engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $9,350. 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. Diesel — the condition of the fuel system and the DPF matters.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $8,000 to $14,100 with a median of $9,375, and this offer is in line with the median of similar listings.

Insight: The price is in line with the market — a balanced offer.

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: Inherited by a new owner on 07.07.2026. 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.
