Opel Astra: how many are still registered?

95still registered

Opel Astra cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 16 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 449 (2010 Q2) - 21.1% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 12.0% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 49 in 2030.

50 of the survivors (52.6%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 95 surviving Opel Astra cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 285 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 24.4% 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.
