DVLA also registers other body types under the Mercedes-Benz 300 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is vans only.

By year

All 2,924 surviving Mercedes-Benz 300 vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 2,360 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 55.2% 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.
