Kia Shuma: how many are still registered?

205still registered

Kia Shuma cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 10 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 8,625 (2004 Q4) - 2.3% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 10.2% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 118 in 2030.

180 of the survivors (87.8%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 205 surviving Kia Shuma cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 1,603 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 11.3% 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.
