2008 Hyundai Amica 1.1L Petrol · FG08 AEX

The 2008 Hyundai Amica presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 8 May 2025 at 52,526 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests in 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 each returned passes with no advisories or faults noted. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the five-year recorded span. Recorded mileage sits at 52,526 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 2,918 miles per year. The DVSA data shows the car covered only 445 miles between the September 2021 test at 34,093 miles and the September 2022 test at 34,538 miles. A larger jump occurred by May 2024 at 38,135 miles, then 14,391 miles added to reach the 2025 figure. Such low annual use with a dormant period implies the Amica spent extended time stationary, a pattern that often masks perished rubber components and corrosion not visible in a clean MOT sheet. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs and subframe areas for rust given the long standing periods between 2021 and 2024. Brake discs and calipers warrant checks for seizing after limited use. The tester flagged no exhaust emissions or structural integrity issues, yet the absence of advisories across five tests does not exempt the car from age-related degradation. Verify the true odometer reading and service history in person. Tyres, wiper blades and fluid condition need confirmation despite no recorded wear items. The clean record reflects compliant testing rather than proven proactive upkeep by previous owners.
