HOW MANY VAUXHALL NOVA LIFE ARE LEFT?

There are 7 VAUXHALL NOVA LIFE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 55 VAUXHALL NOVA LIFE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VAUXHALL NOVA LIFE was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,405). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 1,343 (96%) VAUXHALL NOVA LIFE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q2 the number of VAUXHALL NOVA LIFE 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 LIFE has gained 7. Licensed models have fallen by 4 and the SORNed total has increased by 11.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 4 VAUXHALL NOVA LIFE models. Taxed models have declined by 1 and the SORNed total has increased by 5.

89% of the remaining 62 VAUXHALL NOVA LIFE in the UK are currently off the road.
