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.

Recent UK first registrations

This family is no longer sold new. These figures are imports and historic vehicles joining the British register for the first time.

MOT reliability

DVSA test results for this family, 2005 to 2025.

 
Pass rate by year
Failure reason Failures Share of all tests
During the 2nd fast idle test the carbon monoxide (co) exceeds the vehicle specific or default limits continuously for the last 5 seconds of the 30 second countdown: 34 1.5%
During the idle test, the level of carbon monoxide (co) exceeds the vehicle specific or default limit continuously for the last 5 seconds of the 30 second countdown. 28 1.2%
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 22 1.0%
A registration plate with characters which are obviously not the correct height, character width, stroke width, not of equal width along their entire length or incorrectly spaced 20 0.9%
During the 2nd fast idle test the lambda (l) exceeds the vehicle specific limits continuously for the last 5 seconds of the 30 second countdown 20 0.9%
The windscreen washers do not provide enough liquid to clear the windscreen in conjunction with the wiper(s) 19 0.8%
The calculated parking brake efficiency is too low 16 0.7%
A fluid leakage serious enough to indicate that the fluid seal of the shock absorber has failed 16 0.7%

Where the Diablo 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.
