HOW MANY OPEL KADETT ARE LEFT?

There are 148 OPEL KADETT left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 245 OPEL KADETT that are currently SORNED.

The total number of OPEL KADETT was highest during 1994 Q4 (16,839). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2019 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 16,446 (98%) OPEL KADETT have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of OPEL KADETT 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 OPEL KADETT has gained 101. Licensed models have increased by 61 and the SORNed total has increased by 40.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 54 OPEL KADETT models. Taxed models have grown by 51 and the SORNed total has increased by 3.

62% of the remaining 393 OPEL KADETT in the UK are currently off the road.
