Daewoo Matiz: how many are still registered?

2,826still registered

Daewoo Matiz cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 7 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 59,776 (2005 Q4) - 4.7% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 13.4% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,376 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2033.

2,239 of the survivors (79.2%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

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

By year

All 2,826 surviving Daewoo Matiz cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 21,930 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 11.4% 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.
