What the numbers say about the Renault Kadjar
The number of Renault Kadjars on the road is down 1.6% on a year earlier, behind the +1.5% for all cars and behind Renault as a whole (+1.0%). It is within 5% of its peak of 66,640 (March 2023).
Only 3 were first registered in the UK from July 2025 to June 2026, so the Renault Kadjar is effectively no longer sold new here: the number on the road can only shrink as cars are scrapped, exported or taken off the road.
51% of licensed Renault Kadjars are petrol, against 54% of all cars. There are almost no electric or plug-in versions on the road.
4% of those licensed at the end of 2025 were first used in 2015 or earlier (all cars: 44%), and 1.2% of registered Renault Kadjars are SORN against 9.9% of all cars.
Of the 3,275 Renault Kadjars first registered in 2015, 89% were still licensed at the end of 2025, against 86% of all cars first registered that year (73 Auto analysis; see the table below).

How old Renault Kadjars on the road are
Official data from DfT table VEH0124: cars licensed and SORN at 31 December 2025 in the whole UK, by the year the car was first used (for a car imported used, that is its first use abroad). This table is annual and UK-wide, so its total (67,999 licensed) differs from the quarterly Great Britain figure.

How many Renault Kadjars are still on the road
73 Auto analysis of two official tables: cars first registered in the UK each year (VEH0160) and cars of that year of first use still licensed at 31 December 2025 (VEH0124). The ratio is an indication, not a tracked cohort: imported used cars and cars exported, scrapped or declared off the road all move the figure, and years where the ratio exceeded 100% or fewer than 1,000 cars were registered are left out.

Limitations
Licensed means taxed or tax-exempt and allowed on the road at the quarter end; SORN cars are registered but declared off the road. DfT groups cars by its own “generic model” (RENAULT KADJAR), which 73 Auto maps to the Renault Kadjar as named in our list-price catalogue; body styles and derivatives sold under that name are included. The Great Britain quarterly figures and the UK annual age table are separate official tables, so their totals differ slightly.
