Population history

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

Licensed SORN Latest census observation SOURCE DVLA VEH0120 / VEH0220

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
Significant brake effort recorded with no brake applied indicating a binding brake 148 0.7%
The windscreen washers do not provide enough liquid to clear the windscreen in conjunction with the wiper(s) 124 0.6%
A stop lamp inoperative or less than 50% of the light sources illuminating 119 0.5%
Significant braking effort recorded on a road wheel, even though the brake is not applied, indicating that a brake is binding 110 0.5%
Steering rack gaiter or ball joint dust cover missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc 106 0.5%
A mandatory rear fog lamp inoperative or less than 50% of the light sources illuminating 100 0.5%
Stop lamps all missing or inoperative 95 0.4%
Brakes imbalance across an axle such that the braking effort from any wheel is less than 70% of the maximum effort recorded from the other wheel on the same axle. 94 0.4%

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

Where the Plus 4 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.
