Nissan Bluebird: how many are still registered?

1,045still registered

Nissan Bluebird cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 28 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 159,017 (1994 Q4) - 0.6% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 1.9% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 947 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2028.

808 of the survivors (77.3%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 1,045 surviving Nissan Bluebird cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 432 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 70.5% 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.
