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

By year

All 23 surviving Nissan Primastar buses and coaches, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 27 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 44.8% 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.
