Car-Derived Van
Morris · on record 1994 to 2024
Morris Car Derived Van is a registration category covering light commercials based on passenger car platforms rather than a single named model. It may include van versions of small Morris families depending on age. The underlying engineering can be almost identical to a car, but the goods body and commercial role matter for analysis. These entries should be classified as vans and resolved further with year or body data where possible.

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.

Pass rate by year
| Failure reason | Failures | Share of all tests |
|---|---|---|
| Deliberate modification which significantly reduces the original strength, excessive corrosion, severe distortion, a fracture or an inadequate repair of a load bearing member or its supporting structure or panelling within 30 cms of a seat belt ancho | 4 | 11.4% |
| An insecure, split or missing steering rack gaiter | 3 | 8.6% |
| The calculated out-of-balance of the brakes across an axle is greater than 30% | 2 | 5.7% |
| A wiper blade insecure, missing or in such a condition that it does not clear the windscreen effectively to give the driver an adequate view of the road (through the windscreen) to the left and right sides of the vehicle, as well as to the front | 2 | 5.7% |
| Steering rack gaiter or ball joint dust cover missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc | 1 | 2.9% |
| An obligatory mirror or indirect vision device missing or insecure. | 1 | 2.9% |
| An obligatory lamp inoperative or less than 50% of the light sources illuminating | 1 | 2.9% |
| Fuel system leaking, or missing or ineffective filler cap | 1 | 2.9% |
Counted across every recorded test, 2007 to 2025. Advisories are excluded.
Where the Car-Derived Van 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 history combines DVLA VEH0120 Q4 census observations through 2013 with the annual VEH0220 census from 2014 onward. Figures before 2014 cover Great Britain only. Historical VEH0120 is used only when its overlapping UK observations reconcile to the current canonical family definition. Vehicles are grouped into this family using the DVLA GenModel together with durable routing rules for known inconsistencies.
Variant figures are parsed from raw DVLA model descriptions and the original string is always retained. Configuration is only assigned where the model description explicitly identifies it; a blank configuration is not treated as a two door Wrangler. 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.
