Yearly figures to 2007, then every quarter. 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.

New each year, and how many are still here
24 were first registered between 2015 and 2026, and 16 of those are still registered. Too few in any one year to chart. This data starts in 2001, so cars first registered before then aren't counted here.
