EU inspection stats for Kia Ed

Based on 1 072 inspections · 2023–2025 · 29.3 % approved · 5.2 % with dangerous defects · 70.5 % with major defects · avg. 197 000 km at inspection

EU inspection findings tie to repair risk and what dealers are willing to bid. We publish open PKK figures so you see the same basis the trade uses. Kia Ed has a somewhat higher defect rate in vehicle inspections than average for its age group. In a private sale that is often used against you. With Sonja, dealers bid on what you actually show — honest photos and answers.

By model year

Each row is one model year: approval rate, how often dangerous and major defects appear, and how many inspections sit behind the numbers.

Dangerous defects: failed inspection. Major defects: serious remarks—not the same as dangerous.

Process

How it works

Three short steps. Dealers bid. You choose whether to sell.

  1. Look up the car

    Enter plate and mileage. We fetch the rest automatically — your Kia Ed.

  2. Photos and info

    Upload photos and a little information. The car is then ready to be listed. Nothing more is required from you — we take it from there.

  3. Dealers bid

    If the steps are completed today, the auction can start and end tomorrow. You choose whether to accept the highest bid.

If you say yes, we handle payout, ownership transfer and collection. You skip the paperwork.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How many Kia cars are registered in Norway?
According to SSB (2025), 76,771 Kia cars are registered in Norway (2.7% of all passenger cars). Kia is Norway's #14 most-registered car brand. We use market data and inspection history when valuing your Kia.
What is a Kia Ed worth?
Sonja lets dealers bid on a Kia Ed in a time-limited auction. The price is set by competition — photos and a self-declaration are the documentation. You choose whether to sell.
How much does it cost to use Sonja?
Using Sonja costs nothing: prep, review and the auction are free. We charge a fee from the buying dealer — you as the seller pay nothing. The offer applies to the specific car you enter in the form.
Do I have to drop the car off somewhere?
No. The car stays with you. We need photos and a few answers. If you accept the highest bid, we arrange collection.
How quickly does the auction start?
Finish photos and answers today, and the auction can start and end tomorrow. It normally starts the next weekday at 09:00 and runs the same day. Then you have the highest bid ready, and can in theory sell the car tomorrow. You have plenty of time to accept or decline.
Which cars can I list?
Most Kia Ed cars can be listed in the auction. We assess year, mileage and condition for the specific car — submit the form and we will help you next.
What is the difference from a private sale?
A private sale means listing the car, filtering inquiries and having strangers visit your home for viewings. With Sonja, dealers bid in a time-limited auction. You choose whether to sell — at no cost if you decline.
Does Sonja use EU inspection data for the Kia Ed in its assessment?
Yes. Historical PKK data (periodic vehicle inspection) for the Kia Ed is one of several factors dealers look at. It gives a clearer picture of the model's typical technical condition over time.
What do I need to do to sell my car?
Enter your registration number and mileage. We pull technical and ownership data from the road authority automatically. Then you prepare the car at home with photos and a self-declaration. Finish those two steps, and the auction can start and end tomorrow — then you have the highest bid ready.
