Car statistics
How many Audi 100s are still on the road in Great Britain, how many are declared off the road, how new registrations have changed and which fuels they use. Built from DVLA licensing records.
There were 254 Audi 100s licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 797 declared off the road (SORN). That is 99.5% fewer than the 50,429 licensed in 1994, when this data begins.
Numbers have fallen every year since 1994, as the survivors are scrapped or taken off the road.

There were not enough MOT tests of Audi 100s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
Registrations of Audi 100s for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 507 in 2008. In 2025, 1 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.
DVSA lists 2 safety recalls for the Audi 100 since 1992. The most recent was launched on 7 February 1994.
The other recall
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Audi 100. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
