Proton Persona: how many are still registered?

632still registered

Proton Persona cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 41 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 35,339 (2000 Q4) - 1.7% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 9.0% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 393 in 2030.

468 of the survivors (74.0%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 632 surviving Proton Persona cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 2,090 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 23.2% 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.
