Summary

Kia Sephia 1999 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Kia Sephia 1999: VIN KNAFB2228X5504093, production year 1999, mileage 258k km, petrol engine, automatic gearbox and an asking price of $750. 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. 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 $1,175 to $2,483 with a median of $1,790, and this offer is below the market: 58% 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 abnormally low — a higher risk of hidden problems.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 2, transfers — 0, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — 2. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 08.11.2024. 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.
