About the 2007 HYUNDAI AMICA
The 2007 HYUNDAI AMICA is a city car with a 999cc petrol engine. 3,592 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a reasonably common sight on UK roads. Among all cars from 2007, the average MOT pass rate is 73%, and this model falls short of that benchmark.
With an average of 61,872 miles at 17 years old, HYUNDAI AMICA owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
2007 HYUNDAI AMICA Fuel Costs
The modest 999cc petrol engine keeps fuel costs low, which is a real advantage for a city car. Expect around 50 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £955 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).
What does it cost to own a 2007 HYUNDAI AMICA?
