Looking at a Amica?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Amica is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Amica disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 19,519 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 4,106 in 2026 Q1, down 79%. That is down 55% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 1,591 are declared SORN — 1 in 4 of the 5,697 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Amica MOT pass rate

In 2024, 56.1% of 4,492 Hyundai Amica MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average.

  • Exhaust Emissions — 8% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
  • Brake Performance — 7.5% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Stop Lamp — 7.1% of tests. A brake light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Position Lamps — 6.4% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.

Before you buy

  • Exhaust Emissions — 8% of tests in 2024. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
  • Brake Performance — 7.5% of tests in 2024. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Stop Lamp — 7.1% of tests in 2024. A brake light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Position Lamps — 6.4% of tests in 2024. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 5,697 Amica vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 4 is SORN (1,591 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 79% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 19,519. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual Amica — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
