Mercedes-Benz 200 vans: how many are still registered?

1,451still registered

Mercedes-Benz 200 vans still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 40 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 17,776 (1999 Q4) - 8.1% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 3.5% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,213 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2036.

1,005 of the survivors (69.2%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 1,451 surviving Mercedes-Benz 200 vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 1,234 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 53.5% 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.
