There were not enough MOT tests of Chevrolet Corvettes in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
Registrations of Chevrolet Corvettes for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 142 in 2022. In 2025, 79 were registered.

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.

DVSA lists 5 safety recalls for the Chevrolet Corvette since 1992, the first in 2011. The most recent was launched on 17 May 2019.
All 5 Chevrolet Corvette recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Chevrolet Corvette. 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.
