Summary

Kia Sportage 2016 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Kia Sportage 2016: VIN U5YPH813DGL199922, production year 2016, mileage 185k km, diesel engine, automatic gearbox and an asking price of $7,999. 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. Diesel — the condition of the fuel system and the DPF matters.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $14,400 to $19,000 with a median of $16,300, and this offer is below the market: 51% 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 — 3, transfers — 1, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — 2. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 18.07.2022. 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.
