286 Audi A4 Sport Cabriolet cars are licensed in the UK, and another 409 are declared off the road (SORN). Licensed numbers peaked at 2,525 at the end of June 2009; 11% of that peak is still licensed. Over the last five years the number on the register has fallen by 52%. One of 479 versions DVLA records under the Audi A4.
Yearly figures to 2007, then every quarter. Figures cover Great Britain until June 2014 and the whole UK from September 2014, marked on the chart, when Northern Ireland records were added. SORN was only recorded from the end of 2007, so earlier totals show licensed cars only. Small dips at each year end are usually seasonal: some owners SORN their cars for winter.
