Numbers peaked in 2003 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
The Vauxhall Omega Elite has its own page.
The figures above include every version; each version page covers only the cars DVLA records
under that version’s name.
Versions of the Vauxhall Omega with their own page
There were not enough MOT tests of Vauxhall Omegas 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.
Vauxhall Omega registrations over time
Registrations of Vauxhall Omegas for the first time in Great Britain were highest at 9,401 in 2001, when this data begins. In 2025, 0 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

How we use engine sizes.
Vauxhall Omega fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Vauxhall Omega from 2000, when the data begins, to 2004. On the NEDC test (listings 2000 to 2004), official combined fuel economy for its petrol, diesel and other fuel versions ranges from 19.9 to 40.4 mpg, with CO2 of 189 to 290 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2004
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2004
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Omega, Model Year 2001”, “Omega, Model Year 2000”, “Omega, Model Year 2002”, “Omega, Model Year 2003”. How we use VCA’s figures.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Vauxhall Omega. 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.
