Mitsubishi L300 vans: how many are still registered?

322still registered

Mitsubishi L300 vans still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 5 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 6,879 (1998 Q4) - 4.6% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 4.3% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 256 in 2030.

216 of the survivors (67.0%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Mitsubishi L300 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is vans only.

By year

All 322 surviving Mitsubishi L300 vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 358 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 47.1% 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.
