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 vans only.

By year

All 20,644 surviving Nissan Primastar vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 8,734 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 54.1% 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.
