Nissan Patrol: how many are still registered?

2,205still registered

Nissan Patrol cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 39 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 6,648 (2001 Q4) - 33.1% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 2.5% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,940 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2056.

1,467 of the survivors (66.5%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 2,205 surviving Nissan Patrol cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 946 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 69.9% 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.
