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

By year

All 42 surviving Subaru Forester vans, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 14 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 74.5% 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.
