Mitsubishi 3000: how many are still registered?

Mitsubishi 3000 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 4 recorded variants.

Disappearing at about 1.7% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 503 in 2030.

410 of the survivors (74.4%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Mitsubishi 3000 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 551 surviving Mitsubishi 3000 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 54 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 91.0% 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.
