How many Hyundai Terracans are left in Great Britain?
There were 705 Hyundai Terracans licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 797 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 83.2% fewer than the peak of 4,208 in 2009.
Hyundai Terracans licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2009 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
There were not enough MOT tests of Hyundai Terracans 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.
Hyundai Terracan registrations over time
Registrations of Hyundai Terracans for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 1,357 in 2004. In 2025, 0 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

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.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Hyundai Terracan. 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.
