Audi 80: how many are still registered?

3,216still registered

Audi 80 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 45 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 110,888 (1994 Q4) - 2.9% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 3.1% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 2,746 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2062.

2,191 of the survivors (68.1%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Audi 80 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 3,216 surviving Audi 80 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 2,299 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 58.1% 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.
