Citroen DS3: how many are still registered?

Disappearing at about 2.6% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 60,168 in 2030.

3,888 of the survivors (5.6%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Citroen DS3 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 68,643 surviving Citroen DS3 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 9,821 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 86.0% 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.
