Mitsubishi Pajero: how many are still registered?

524still registered

Mitsubishi Pajero cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 36 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 2,156 (2007 Q4) - 24.3% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 5.3% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 397 in 2030.

404 of the survivors (77.0%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 524 surviving Mitsubishi Pajero cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 564 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 47.6% 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.
