Honda Civic: how many are still registered?

298,481still registered

Honda Civic cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 333 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 459,877 (2009 Q3) - 64.9% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 5.0% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 230,957 in 2030.

43,372 of the survivors (14.5%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

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

By year

All 298,481 surviving Honda Civic cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 227,261 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 47.6% 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.
