Our Verdict
A surprisingly resilient example of a budget city car. Recommended for those seeking a low-cost runaround, provided the service history supports the high mileage.
Given the 141,443 miles on the clock, your primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals, as a failure here would be catastrophic for the engine. Check for any evidence of oil leaks around the engine bay, which can become more common as these smaller units age.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the condition of the brakes. While the MOTs are clean, the vehicle is nearly 20 years old, meaning rubber components and suspension bushings may be perished regardless of whether they have caused an MOT failure. Ask for proof of recent oil changes to ensure the engine remains lubricated at this high mileage.
The 1086cc engine is designed for economy, offering low fuel consumption and affordable road tax. Being a small-capacity petrol engine, it typically sits in a low insurance group, making it an ideal choice for new drivers or those looking to minimize monthly overheads.
Maintenance costs are generally low due to the simplicity of the Amica's mechanical design. However, at this age and mileage, you should budget for occasional replacement of wear-and-tear items like spark plugs and filters. The estimated annual running cost is kept low by the vehicle's modest power and efficiency.
Start by examining the underbody for corrosion. While the MOT history for KP56ACJ shows no recorded defects since 2021, older budget cars are often susceptible to rust on the sills and chassis, which may not always be flagged until it becomes a structural failure.
Inspect the interior for wear and tear consistent with 141,443 miles, specifically the driver's seat bolster and steering wheel. Check the operation of all electrics and the heating system, as these are common failure points in older city cars that can be costly to rectify relative to the car's value.
This 2006 Red Hyundai Amica has reached 141,443 miles, showing remarkable longevity for a 1.1L petrol engine. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no recorded defects over the last five years, suggesting a vehicle that has been consistently maintained. While the mileage is high, the lack of recurring failures makes it a compelling budget option.
While aggregate data is unavailable, this specific vehicle's history of passing multiple MOTs without defects suggests a reliable individual example.
