Volvo C30: how many are still registered?

21,468still registered

Volvo C30 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 94 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 29,867 (2013 Q2) - 71.8% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 5.0% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 16,609 in 2030.

2,082 of the survivors (9.6%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 21,468 surviving Volvo C30 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 8,588 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 71.4% 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.
