HYUNDAI PONY Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 71 HYUNDAI PONYs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 440 in 2024 Q2 — only 16% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 369 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. Tellingly, 73% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up. In all, the HYUNDAI PONY is rarer than 63% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the PONY
The Hyundai Pony (Hangul: 현대 포니) is a small rear-wheel-drive automobile produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai from 1975 until 1990. The Pony was South Korea's first mass-produced and exported car. It was made in two-door coupé utility, three-door liftback, four-door saloon car, and five-door liftback or estate car body styles. The Pony nameplate remained in use until 2000 on some export versions of the Hyundai Excel and Accent.
