Nissan 300: how many are still registered?

1,213still registered

Nissan 300 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 8 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 3,549 (1994 Q4) - 34.1% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 0.6% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,173 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2055.

958 of the survivors (78.9%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Nissan 300 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 1,213 surviving Nissan 300 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 58 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 95.4% 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.
