Every Hyundai Amica model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2007 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Hyundai Amica:

What this means if you are buying a 2007 Amica
The 2007 is one of the stronger years for this model, passing 2.2 points more often than the Hyundai Amica average. That is a point in its favour, though condition and service history still matter more than the model year.

What a 19-year-old car fails on
A 2007 car is 19 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does. On a 2007 Hyundai Amica the average at test was 60,471 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
The strongest year for this model is 2008 at 71.2%, and the weakest in our data is 2000 at 59%. That 12.2 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2007 car against a newer one tells you very little.
