Most recorded on UK roads at once: 7,687 (2001 Q4) - 8.5% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 12.9% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 327 in 2030.

293 of the survivors (44.7%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 655 surviving Hyundai Sonata cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 2,268 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 22.3% 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.
