Citroen BX: how many are still registered?

1,281still registered

Citroen BX cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 65 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 182,120 (1994 Q4) - 0.7% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 1.4% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,192 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2043.

1,022 of the survivors (79.7%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 1,281 surviving Citroen BX cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 348 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 78.5% 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.
