Hyundai Accent: how many are still registered?

2,991still registered

Hyundai Accent cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 33 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 79,525 (2004 Q4) - 3.7% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 13.3% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,464 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2033.

1,597 of the survivors (53.3%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 2,991 surviving Hyundai Accent cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 18,846 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 13.6% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
