Austin A35 MOT reliability

We do not show MOT figures for the Austin A35. 23% of those on the DVLA record are vans, and DVSA’s MOT results do not separate car and van tests of the same model, so the figures would not describe the car. How we work out MOT figures.

Austin A35 engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 1,271 Austin A35s licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 90.3% have an engine of 901cc to 1,000cc, and 4.2% have an engine of 1,001cc to 1,100cc.

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.

Austin A35 safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Austin A35 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 Austin A35. 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.
