DVLA also registers other body types under the Citroen C5 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 41,790 surviving Citroen C5 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 34,392 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 23.1% 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.
