MG ZT: how many are still registered?

4,665still registered

MG ZT cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 61 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 19,060 (2006 Q4) - 24.4% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 7.6% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 3,140 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2045.

2,835 of the survivors (60.7%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 4,665 surviving MG ZT cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 8,819 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 34.5% 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.
