Mazda 3: how many are still registered?

115,275still registered

Mazda 3 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 103 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 126,221 (2018 Q3) - 91.3% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 1.9% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 104,730 in 2030.

5,639 of the survivors (4.8%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 115,275 surviving Mazda 3 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 50,567 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 51.5% 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.
