Vauxhall Nova vans still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 8 recorded variants.
Most recorded on UK roads at once: 4,162 (1994 Q4) - 2.2% of that peak survives.
The decline has levelled off - survivor numbers have held steady over the last five years.
82 of the survivors (87.2%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives
DVLA also registers other body types under the Vauxhall Nova nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is vans only.
By year
All 94 surviving Vauxhall Nova vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time.
Vans 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 Vauxhall Nova was being sold new, so these are almost entirely imports rather than the car's original sales.
