Disappearing at about 3.6% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 170 in 2030.

170 of the survivors (82.1%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 207 surviving Mitsubishi FTO cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 175 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 54.1% 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.
