Volkswagen Vento: how many are still registered?

507still registered

Volkswagen Vento cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 13 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 10,572 (1999 Q4) - 4.7% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 2.8% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 438 in 2030.

375 of the survivors (73.9%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 507 surviving Volkswagen Vento cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 423 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 54.4% 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.
