Nissan Pulsar: how many are still registered?

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 21,185 (2018 Q3) - 98.8% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 0.7% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 20,209 in 2030.

397 of the survivors (1.8%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 20,934 surviving Nissan Pulsar cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 134 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 91.0% 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.
