How many Hyundai ix35s are left in Great Britain?
There were 45,651 Hyundai ix35s licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 1,882 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 21.2% fewer than the peak of 57,943 in 2016.
Hyundai ix35s licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2016 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
In 2025, 63.8% of Hyundai ix35 MOT tests were passed first time,
against 72.8% for all cars.
Cars of the same ages as the Hyundai ix35s tested pass 67.5% of the time, so the Hyundai ix35 does worse than average for its age, by 3.7 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 64.9%.

6 years of the Hyundai ix35, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2014 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (68.2% passed first time) and the 2013 cars worst (58.7%).
Registered: cars on the DVLA record at the end of the year they were first registered (these counts start in 2014, so older years show a dash). Left:
licensed or declared SORN at the end of 2025.
Both cover the United Kingdom. Pass rate: first-time passes at normal MOT tests in Great
Britain in 2025; all cars: every car first registered the same year.

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.
Hyundai ix35 fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Hyundai ix35 from 2010 to 2015. On the NEDC test (listings 2010 to 2015), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 37.7 to 54.3 mpg, with CO2 of 135 to 189 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2010 to 2015
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2010 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 “ix35”, “ix35 Facelift, September 2013”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Hyundai ix35 safety recalls
DVSA lists 3 safety recalls for the Hyundai ix35 since 1992, the first in 2014. The most recent was launched on 9 September 2024.
A potential safety defect has been identified which could occur within the ABS control unit. The ABS control unit within the affected VIN range could experience an electrical short circuit.
On affected vehicles the HECU (Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit) for the ABS could experience an electrical short circuit with a potential that the malfunction indicator light may become illuminated (MIL and /or ABS light) and a burning smell may emanate from the engine compartment and the HECU components.
Remedy
The affected vehicles will have a low-capacity fuse installed within the engine compartment junction box
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Hyundai ix35. 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.
