HYUNDAI TRAJET Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 878 HYUNDAI TRAJETs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 6,630 in 2014 Q3 — only 13% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 5,752 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 159 a year (18.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2028 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 76% 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.
