Why to check the KIA VIN number with the decoder
The VIN report on a Kia is an important source of data that will help you make an informed decision when buying. In our video we showed a case from Belarus, when a buyer did not check the VIN and found himself in a difficult situation.

- Production date verification - protection against buying a car with falsified data.
- Condition analysis - identifying hidden defects and accident history.
- Comparison with documents - eliminating falsified information.
- Risk minimization - increase confidence in the purchase.
- Free access to the report - no need to pay.

Where the KIA VIN number is located
Most KIA vehicles have the VIN number located in the sill of the right rear door. However, the code can also be placed on:
- under the hood plate;
- on the steering wheel;
- on the driver's front pillar;
- under the passenger seat under the mat;
- on the windshield under the dashboard.
You can always specify the VIN number of the car KIA RIO and other models, having studied in detail the technical passport. It is necessarily attached to each car at purchase.
KIA VIN decoding
Kia VIN decoding by symbols:
1-3: indicates the manufacturer and place of production. The code “KNM” stands for Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia.

7 - equipment code, “X” - basic equipment level.

The remaining symbols are the unique serial number of the car.
