DVLA also registers other body types under the LDV Maxus nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is buses and coaches only.

By year

All 1,240 surviving LDV Maxus buses and coaches, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 1,032 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 54.5% 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.
