Mazda 6: how many are still registered?

63,250still registered

Mazda 6 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 77 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 110,402 (2016 Q1) - 57.2% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 7.0% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 44,000 in 2030.

9,507 of the survivors (15.0%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Mazda 6 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 63,250 surviving Mazda 6 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 76,833 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 31.5% 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.
