In 2025, UK vehicle production fell to its lowest level in 73 years, totaling 764,715 vehicles. This decline was attributed to a significant cyber attack on the industry and ongoing tariff disputes, resulting in a production drop of 150,000 vehicles compared to 2024. The number of cars produced also decreased, with 717,371 cars manufactured, down 60,000 year on year.
