- Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
- Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately, from 2007.
- This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “CORSA CDX 16V AUTO”, “CORSA CDX 16V”, “CORSA CDX”, “CORSA CDX 1.4I”, “CORSA CDX AUTO”, “CORSA CDX 1.4I AUTO”, “CORSA CDX TD”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
- Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the most licensed at any year end since 1994, plus any first registered after that year. Other versions are those of the same model whose licensed count peaked in the same years, up to 2001.
