HOW MANY DAEWOO ARE LEFT?

There are 1,284 DAEWOO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 5,077 DAEWOO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of DAEWOO was highest during 2004 Q4 (190,063). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2016 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 183,702 (97%) DAEWOO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q4 the number of DAEWOO that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of DAEWOO has fallen by 38,071. Licensed models have fallen by 37,040 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1,031.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 6,861 DAEWOO models. Taxed models have declined by 5,733 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1,128.

80% of the remaining 6,361 DAEWOO in the UK are currently off the road.
