Disappearing at about 11.0% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 8,035 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2048.

By year

All 14,392 surviving SEAT Altea cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 17,694 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 43.9% 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.
