Hyundai Amica MOT reliability

In 2025, 55.9% of Hyundai Amica MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Hyundai Amicas tested pass 58.5% of the time, so the Hyundai Amica does worse than average for its age, by 2.6 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 56.5%.

Hyundai Amica MOT failures

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment is the most common reason a Hyundai Amica fails its MOT, appearing on 47.3% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 11.8% of Hyundai Amica tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

Most common Hyundai Amica MOT defects and advisories

The single most common reason a Hyundai Amica failed its MOT in 2025 was “Position lamp: not working”, on 14.8% of 2,170 failed tests. 67.5% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

Hyundai Amica by year

3 years of the Hyundai Amica, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2008 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (62.0% passed first time) and the 2006 cars worst (54.3%).

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “Amica”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Hyundai Amica safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Hyundai Amica in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Hyundai Amica. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
