2008 Hyundai Amica 1.1L Petrol · FM57 BDZ

The Hyundai Amica presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 8 July 2025 at 112,334 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing its final test cleanly after two consecutive years of same-day fail-then-pass outcomes that recorded no defects. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decline. Recorded mileage rose from 96,959 miles at the 12 July 2023 test to 106,445 miles by 4 July 2024, then to 112,334 miles by 8 July 2025. That equates to roughly 5,500 to 6,000 miles per year, consistent with the 6,241 annual average for an 18-year-old vehicle. The DVSA history is sparse and clean across all five entries, showing no advisories, corrosion flags, brake defects, or suspension wear, which indicates either light use or diligent consumable replacement ahead of each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record logs no advisories but does not confirm absence of age-related rust on a 2008 chassis. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for fatigue not captured by a pass result. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries on 4 July 2024 and 7 July 2025 imply the previous owner relied on swift retests rather than addressing latent faults. Verify the vehicle has not stood idle for long periods despite low annual mileage, and confirm fresh tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions compliance during any viewing.
