2006 Hyundai Amica 1.1L Petrol · KP56 ABN

The 2006 Hyundai Amica’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-08 at 108,281 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this follows a failure on 2025-12-22 at 108,210 miles, which also had no recorded issues. The pattern of alternating pass/fail results without defect notes suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved underlying issues. While the latest test indicates compliance, the proximity of the failure and pass raises concerns about the vehicle’s reliability. No structural, brake, or suspension defects were flagged in the history, but the lack of detailed reporting limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 108,281 miles over 20 years equates to approximately 5,414 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. Notably, the 2024-01-08 failure at 97,787 miles occurred just one mile before a subsequent pass on 2024-01-09 at 97,789 miles, raising questions about data accuracy or transient issues. The MOT history lacks gaps, but the absence of defect details prevents a thorough assessment of wear on critical systems. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust for signs of corrosion or wear, as low mileage can mask hidden deterioration. The absence of recorded brake disc thickness, suspension bush wear, or exhaust leaks in the MOTs means these areas require physical verification. Additionally, the vehicle’s age necessitates checking for rust in body panels and underbody components, which may not appear in MOT records. The recent pass offers temporary reassurance, but the irregular testing history underscores the need for a detailed pre-purchase inspection.
