2008 Hyundai Amica 1.1L Petrol · KW57 JCY

The 2008 Hyundai Amica achieved a clean pass at its most recent DVSA test on 25 February 2022 at 92,719 miles, with the examiner recording no defects or advisories. This outcome shows the vehicle's mechanical and structural condition met roadworthiness standards four years ago. The maintenance trend across the available record is stable, as every pass shows fault-free results and no worsening pattern emerges. The only failure occurred on 19 October 2017 at 77,659 miles yet listed no defects, and a subsequent pass on 24 October 2017 at 77,816 miles confirms the issue was not mechanical. Mileage remains low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle at 92,719 total, averaging about 5,150 miles per year. The recorded tests reveal uneven use. The 25 October 2018 pass at 88,665 miles followed the 25 October 2016 pass at 65,408 miles, a gain of 23,257 miles over two years. Accumulation then fell sharply, with only 4,054 miles added by February 2022. A three-year gap between the 2018 and 2022 MOTs indicates prolonged storage. Sparse clean entries suggest previous owners kept basic upkeep adequate for testing but omitted annual continuity. A buyer must view current roadworthiness as unverified because the test certificate lapsed in February 2023 and no later examination exists. Age and long idle periods raise the risk of perished rubber and seized mechanisms invisible to old data. A physical inspection should check suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity require scrutiny for rust. The 2017 failure with no recorded defect demands verification of DVSA paperwork. Tyres and wiper blades may have degraded from age rather than mileage.
