Use the free decoder to read a VIN of the model Kia Shuma: 17 characters go in, and the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture come out. For the car Kia Shuma we list the production years 1997 - 2004, 2 versions in total, the body styles Hatchback and a power figure of 114 hp. From the 17 characters the decoder reads who built the vehicle, in which model year and in which country. The plant can be derived too when the manufacturer encodes it.
Past damage, odometer values, theft records and the number of owners are not part of a VIN, so no decoder can read them from the code alone. A separate history check is needed for that. On a model Kia Shuma you are considering, read the VIN on the car and then the VIN in the documents. They must match exactly, in all 17 characters.
