Insight summary

Hyundai Amica is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 4,098 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 69.0% from 43,591 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 47. The current pool shows an average of 66,639 miles and an average age of 18.7 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 66,639 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are engine warning light, lighting and tyre condition. The practical read is that the Hyundai Amica looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
