HOW MANY VAUXHALL NOVA L ARE LEFT?

There are 91 VAUXHALL NOVA L left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 432 VAUXHALL NOVA L that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VAUXHALL NOVA L was highest during 1994 Q4 (78,985). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 78,462 (99%) VAUXHALL NOVA L have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of VAUXHALL NOVA L 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 VAUXHALL NOVA L has fallen by 41. Licensed models have fallen by 109 and the SORNed total has increased by 68.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 2 VAUXHALL NOVA L models. Taxed models have declined by 5 and the SORNed total has increased by 7.

83% of the remaining 523 VAUXHALL NOVA L in the UK are currently off the road.
