VAUXHALL OMEGA Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 4,056 VAUXHALL OMEGAs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 17,049 in 2014 Q3 — only 24% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 12,993 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 319 a year (7.9% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2034 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 84% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.
