2006 Hyundai Amica 1.1L Petrol · MF56 YYR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent failure to address recurring suspension and tyre-related issues. In the most recent test on October 8, 2025 at 38,546 miles, the car passed despite advisories for corroded front springs and a worn offside rear tyre. While the vehicle is passing, the ongoing corrosion on both front coil springs has appeared in every annual record since September 2022, indicating that the owner is deferring preventative repairs until a failure occurs. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 38,062 miles and October 2024 at 38,336 miles, the car covered only 274 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which often accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components and promotes corrosion despite low mechanical wear. The failure on October 1, 2024, for a deep cut in the offside front tyre shows that low mileage does not prevent physical damage or neglect. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering system. The record flagged play in the steering rack inner joints in 2023, which requires physical verification to ensure the steering precision has not deteriorated. The handbrake was noted as nearing the end of travel in 2022, suggesting the adjustment mechanism or rear shoes may require attention or replacement. Given the consistent corrosion on the coil springs, the structural integrity of the mounting points and surrounding subframe should be checked for deep rust, as these areas prone to catastrophic failure if left unmanaged.
