The KIA SHUMA (1999-04) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 GSX is a five-door, petrol-powered family hatchback from Kia’s push into the UK market around the turn of the century. It sits in the practical compact-car class, offering everyday space and straightforward transport rather than the image or polish of pricier European rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. mycarcheck.com has recorded just three checks, covering three different VINs, so its figures are useful clues, not a broad market guide. Those records show an average latest mileage of 64,000 miles and about 3,000 miles a year, with roughly five previous keepers. The £100 average private-sale valuation is unusually low and should not be treated as a reliable asking-price estimate. The Shuma suits budget-minded drivers needing a five-door for local trips, commuting or family duties. Its roomy, no-frills approach and 1.8-litre engine made it a value-focused alternative, though age and condition matter.
