Proton SL: how many are still registered?
43still registered
Proton SL cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 2 recorded variants.
Most recorded on UK roads at once: 3,497 (1996 Q4) - 1.2% of that peak survives.
Disappearing at about 4.9% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 32 in 2030.
31 of the survivors (72.0%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year
All 43 surviving Proton SL cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 101 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 29.8% 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.
Cars joining a UK register each year, and how many of that year's arrivals are still registered now (the darker part of each bar). For an import this is the year it arrived, not the year it was built. DVLA's first-registration series starts in 2001, well after the Proton SL was being sold new, so these are almost entirely imports rather than the car's original sales.
