The KIA SHUMA (1999-04) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 LX AUTO4 is a late-1990s and early-2000s family hatchback, offering five doors and an automatic gearbox rather than the compact footprint of a city car. In the UK used-car market it sits among older, budget-friendly alternatives to familiar hatchbacks such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Mycarcheck.com has recorded just two checks for this exact version, covering two different VINs, so the figures are a small snapshot rather than a market-wide guide. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £500 and average recorded mileage of 66,000 miles; annual mileage averaged 2,000. The average keeper count was 7.5, a reminder that age and ownership history deserve close inspection. With its five-door layout and automatic transmission, the Shuma can suit drivers wanting everyday transport, including households and commuters. Its appeal is affordable space, while condition, service records and gearbox behaviour matter more than badge prestige.
