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

By year

All 11 surviving Mitsubishi Challenger vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 9 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 55.0% 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.
