Chrysler PT Cruiser: how many are still registered?

4,035still registered

Chrysler PT Cruiser cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 32 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 22,467 (2009 Q1) - 17.9% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 12.7% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 2,044 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2036.

2,325 of the survivors (57.6%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 4,035 surviving Chrysler PT Cruiser cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 13,320 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 23.2% 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.
