Cars on the register over time

LicensedSORN (stacked on top)

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.

New each year, and how many are still here

25 were first registered between 2012 and 2014, and 23 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.
