2023 KIA Seltos

A component is listed below if NHTSA records a vehicle recall campaign, a manufacturer warranty extension or service campaign, or at least 10 distinct consumer complaints.

Recall campaigns

NHTSA lists these campaigns as covering certain 2023 KIA Seltos vehicles. One campaign can list several components, so adding these counts is not a way to total the campaigns — 2 vehicle campaigns are on record for this model-year.

Power TrainPark outside1 campaignno complaint count above OAV’s minimum of 10
Engine1 campaign19 distinct complaints

Manufacturer campaigns

The manufacturer filed these with NHTSA as warranty extensions or service campaigns.

Electrical SystemWarranty extensionmost recently Oct 21, 2025
A warranty extension does not establish that this vehicle is covered, or that coverage is unexpired. Coverage depends on the program, the VIN, and its date of first sale — confirm with a franchised dealer.

Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety recall at no cost to the owner — by repair, replacement or refund — for vehicles not more than 15 years old on the date the defect was determined.

Parts are sometimes on back-order and some remedies are interim, so a dealer may not be able to complete the work immediately. A specific vehicle’s current recall status is available through NHTSA’s VIN recall lookup.

OAV lists only communications filed as warranty extensions or service campaigns. KIA filed 43 other service communications for this model year; those are not listed.

These federal records are not an input to OAV’s price verdict.

These records describe the 2023 model-year, not any individual vehicle, and are not an inspection. One complaint can be recorded against more than one component, so counts do not sum to the model-year total. Service records for any component listed here are worth requesting from the seller.

Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. Mileage is self-reported and frequently rounded. Complaint records as of 2026-09-28. Recall records as of 2026-09-28. Manufacturer communications as of 2026-09-28.

About This 2023 Kia Seltos

Listing updated: Oct 1, 2026

Listed by an independent dealer in Auburn, ME · On lot for 5 days · VIN verifiable at NHTSA

This used 2023 Kia Seltos EX is listed at $19,490 by Lake City Exports - Auburn in Auburn, ME 04210. It has 69,523 miles on the odometer (dealer-reported, not independently verified by OAV). The exterior color is Black. It features a 4WD drivetrain with a 2.0L I4 engine and CVT transmission.

OAV's independent, evidence-backed Price-to-Market analysis rates this vehicle as Fair Price — priced in line with the supported comparable range. Based on 20 comparable listings matched to this vehicle, the estimated market range is $17,193 to $25,500. These comparisons match year, make, and model, using trim where the data supports it. OAV does not adjust comparable prices for mileage — every price shown is the real advertised price. On used vehicles, mileage can still cause OAV to withhold a verdict — very high or unreliable mileage, or a lower price better explained by higher-than-typical mileage than by a genuine market discount — rather than call it a deal it can't support.

This vehicle has been on the lot for 5 days.

Analysis powered by OAV's patented inventory standardization technology (U.S. Patent No. 12,236,477). Verdict methodology ptm-verdict-v1 · snapshot Oct 1, 2026. The comparable band (patent pending) is the input; ptm-verdict-v1 is the versioned OAV rule set that turns it into this verdict.

How this deal is rated

OAV compares this 2023 Kia Seltos against similar vehicles currently available for sale — same make, model, and year range, using trim where the data supports it. OAV does not adjust comparable prices for mileage; on used vehicles it withholds a verdict when mileage would distort the comparison — very high or unreliable mileage, or a lower price better explained by higher-than-typical mileage than by a genuine market discount — rather than overstate a deal. Based on where this listing falls in that comparable set, it is rated:

Great Deal — priced below the comparable-range floor by at least OAV's minimum-gap margin; a smaller gap under the floor is Fair Price.
Fair Price — priced within the comparable range, or below the floor by less than that margin.
Overpriced — priced above the comparable range.
Unscored — OAV withholds a verdict when the evidence cannot support one: too few or too widely spread comparables, a price it cannot validate, a branded or salvage title, or mileage that would distort the comparison. The listing stays visible; only the rating is withheld.

Listings show OAV's Price-to-Market verdict and live market context for every dealer's inventory, whether or not the dealer has any relationship with OAV. A dealer that claims its listings can manage its profile and have buyer inquiries routed to it directly. A paying partner's own listings additionally carry an OAV Verified Partner label on the dealer contact block and a link to the dealer's own listing page. That is the complete list of what a relationship with OAV changes, and all of it concerns the dealer's identity on its own listings. Payment never changes a vehicle's verdict, its eligibility to be scored or cited, the evidence shown or withheld, or where and how prominently the listing appears on any OAV page, board, or answer. There is no paid placement, ranking, ordering, verdict badge, or featured position of any kind. OAV sells dealers insight into the evidence, never influence over it.
