By year

All 178,919 surviving Toyota Corolla cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 125,400 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 34.7% 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.
