Renault 19: how many are still registered?

900still registered

Renault 19 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 62 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 130,441 (1996 Q4) - 0.6% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 3.0% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 771 in 2030.

748 of the survivors (83.1%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 900 surviving Renault 19 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 681 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 56.8% 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.
