3,390still registered

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 27,042 (2009 Q1) - 12.5% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 12.6% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,727 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2035.

2,130 of the survivors (62.8%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 3,390 surviving Alfa Romeo 147 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 14,759 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 18.6% 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.
