Summary

Kia Sephia 2002 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Kia Sephia 2002: VIN KNEFB227225144352, production year 2002, mileage 230k km, petrol engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $2,700. 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.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $1,294 to $3,650 with a median of $2,650, and this offer is within the market: 2% over the median.

Insight: The price is in line with the market — a balanced offer. Wide price spread — the final value depends heavily on trim, condition and mileage.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 3, transfers — 1, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — 1. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 26.03.2021. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: A moderate number of owners (3) — typical for the car’s age. There were transfers but the plate stayed the same — the history was not broken up by plate changes. The car appeared in Ukraine recently — the history is short, its origin matters.
