Is the Hyundai Amica ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 6,740 MOT tests, around 81% of Hyundai Amicas still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 5% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 13%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 100% petrol. Petrol Amicas are generally compliant from 2006, while petrol cars from 2000 or earlier are likely to be charged.

Buying a used Hyundai Amica for London: what the MOT data shows
The Hyundai Amicas in this data were first registered between 2000 and 2008. 2007 was the most common year, with 2,406 tests (36% of the total), and half were registered in 2007 or later.
Amicas from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 58% of the time, at an average of 59,396 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 47% of the time with 66,238 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Amicas likely to comply are from 2006. 2,066 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 58% of the time and averaged 60,148 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Amica's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (12.0% of tests); tyres: "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (4.3%); visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (4.2%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 17.6% of tests.
Overall, 57% of Amicas passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 59,695 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
