DVLA also registers other body types under the Land Rover Discovery nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is vans only.

By year

All 20,401 surviving Land Rover Discovery vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 2,526 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 76.3% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
