Nissan Terrano: how many are still registered?

5,877still registered

Nissan Terrano cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 43 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 26,800 (2005 Q4) - 21.9% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 7.7% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 3,935 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2048.

4,048 of the survivors (68.8%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

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

By year

All 5,877 surviving Nissan Terrano cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 9,785 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 37.5% 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.
