Mitsubishi Pajero vans: how many are still registered?

235still registered

Mitsubishi Pajero vans still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 30 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 1,017 (2007 Q4) - 23.1% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 5.3% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 177 in 2030.

185 of the survivors (78.7%) 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 vans only.

By year

All 235 surviving Mitsubishi Pajero vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 301 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 43.7% 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.
