Citroen ZX: how many are still registered?

2,063still registered

Citroen ZX cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 50 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 138,178 (1998 Q4) - 1.4% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 5.6% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,544 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2038.

1,670 of the survivors (80.9%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 2,063 surviving Citroen ZX cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 4,549 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 31.1% 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.
