2002 Hyundai Amica 1.0L Petrol · OY52 TVE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes in recent years. The most recent test conducted in February 2023 at 75,184 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met standards at that time. While a failure occurred earlier in February 2022, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass suggest that any specific issue was addressed promptly rather than developing into a recurring mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,133 miles per year. Between February 2020 at 45,517 miles and February 2023 at 75,184 miles, the car covered 29,667 miles over three years. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and floor pans, as older vehicles from this era are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Given the low annual usage, it is also vital to check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes that occur when a vehicle sits stationary. Since the last MOT was over three years ago, the buyer must verify the current condition of consumable items like brake lines and tyres to ensure they have not perished due to age despite having remaining tread depth.
