Population history

Licensed and SORN vehicles at each census. Filters apply to the population, MOT and registration figures together.

Inside the surviving fleet

AutoCensus parses every DVLA variant description, so the fleet can be read by fuel and specification rather than as one number.

First registrations by year

When surviving examples first joined the British fleet.

New registrations

Vehicles first registered each year. A fleet still being sold shows here; a finished one shows only imports.

MOT reliability

DVSA test results for this family, 2005 to 2025.

 
Pass rate by year
Failure reason Failures Share of all tests
The calculated parking brake efficiency is too low 138 2.0%
The windscreen washers do not provide enough liquid to clear the windscreen in conjunction with the wiper(s) 114 1.7%
A low braking effort is recorded from the parking brake on any wheel, indicating clearly that the brake is not functioning correctly 91 1.3%
A direction indicator shows light of an incorrect colour 82 1.2%
Lamp emitted colour, position or intensity not in accordance with the requirements 73 1.1%
An obligatory lamp shows a light other than red to the rear and white to the front (or yellow if a front position lamp is incorporated in a yellow headlamp) 72 1.1%
Lamp emitted colour, position or intensity not in accordance with the requirements 54 0.8%
When the brake is fully applied there is no possibility of further travel of the lever because the lever is at the end of its working travel on the ratchet 52 0.8%

Counted across every recorded test, 2005 to 2025. Advisories are excluded.

Where the Corvette remains

Based on MOT test locations, 2025. Test location is a proxy: a vehicle is counted where it was last tested, not where it is kept.

Full methodology

Population figures count vehicles recorded as licensed or SORN in the DVLA quarterly extract. Figures before 2014 cover Great Britain only. Vehicles are grouped into this family by the DVLA GenModel key shown above, with routing rules for known inconsistencies.

Variant figures are parsed from raw DVLA model descriptions and the original string is always retained. Blank transmission fields are shown as manual because DVLA records the field for automatic vehicles.

MOT figures count tests, not vehicles, and geographic figures count each vehicle at its most recent test location. The decline projection is a straight line fitted to the latest five years and is illustrative only.
