How many Chevrolet Traxes are left in Great Britain?
There were 1,296 Chevrolet Traxes licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 65 declared off the road (SORN).

In 2025, 63.5% of Chevrolet Trax MOT tests were passed first time,
against 72.8% for all cars.
Cars of the same ages as the Chevrolet Traxes tested pass 65.6% of the time, so the Chevrolet Trax does worse than average for its age, by 2.1 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 62.9%.

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.
Chevrolet Trax fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Chevrolet Trax from 2013 to 2015. On the NEDC test (listings 2013 to 2015), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 43.4 to 62.7 mpg, with CO2 of 120 to 153 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2013 to 2015
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2013 to 2015
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Trax, MY2014”, “Trax, MY2013”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Chevrolet Trax safety recalls
DVSA lists 3 safety recalls for the Chevrolet Trax since 1992, the first in 2015. The most recent was launched on 4 February 2025.
Chevrolet Takata Driver’s Airbag
Launched 4 February 2025DVSA recall R/2025/036Manufacturer ref. KCS-N222358800
Defect
On affected vehicles the chemicals in the Takata airbags may deteriorate over time which may cause the inflator to rupture and lead to serious injury.
Remedy
Exchange affected airbag modules as a precautionary measure.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Chevrolet Trax. 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.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
