HOW MANY OPEL KADETT LS ARE LEFT?

There are 6 OPEL KADETT LS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 8 OPEL KADETT LS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of OPEL KADETT LS was highest during 1994 Q4 (3,548). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 3,534 (100%) OPEL KADETT LS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2009 Q4 the number of OPEL KADETT LS 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 LS has gained 4. Licensed models have increased by 2 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 1 OPEL KADETT LS models. Taxed models have grown by 5 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.

57% of the remaining 14 OPEL KADETT LS in the UK are currently off the road.
