Peugeot 505: how many are still registered?

246still registered

Peugeot 505 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 28 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 24,923 (1994 Q4) - 0.9% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 1.9% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 221 in 2030.

196 of the survivors (79.6%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

DVLA also registers other body types under the Peugeot 505 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 246 surviving Peugeot 505 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 68 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 77.9% 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.
