Mazda B Series vans: how many are still registered?

4,256still registered

Mazda B Series vans still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 30 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 9,380 (2009 Q3) - 45.3% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 5.3% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 3,239 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2052.

2,234 of the survivors (52.4%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

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

By year

All 4,256 surviving Mazda B Series vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 3,156 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 57.4% 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.
