Renault 9: how many are still registered?

89still registered

Renault 9 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 18 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 33,966 (1994 Q4) - 0.2% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 2.6% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 74 in 2030.

59 of the survivors (66.2%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

DVLA also registers other body types under the Renault 9 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 89 surviving Renault 9 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 25 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 77.8% 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.
