    Description

    Data files containing detailed information about vehicles in the UK are also available, including make and model data.

    Some tables have been withdrawn and replaced. The table index for this statistical series has been updated to provide a full map between the old and new numbering systems used in this page.

    The Department for Transport is committed to continuously improving the quality and transparency of our outputs, in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics. In line with this, we have recently concluded a planned review of the processes and methodologies used in the production of Vehicle licensing statistics data. The review sought to seek out and introduce further improvements and efficiencies in the coding technologies we use to produce our data and as part of that, we have identified several historical errors across the published data tables affecting different historical periods. These errors are the result of mistakes in past production processes that we have now identified, corrected and taken steps to eliminate going forward.

    Most of the revisions to our published figures are small, typically changing values by less than 1% to 3%. The key revisions are:

    Licensed Vehicles (2014 Q3 to 2016 Q3)

    We found that some unlicensed vehicles during this period were mistakenly counted as licensed. This caused a slight overstatement, about 0.54% on average, in the number of licensed vehicles during this period.

    3.5 - 4.25 tonnes Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) Classification

    Since 2023, ZEVs weighing between 3.5 and 4.25 tonnes have been classified as light goods vehicles (LGVs) instead of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). We have now applied this change to earlier data and corrected an error in table VEH0150. As a result, the number of newly registered HGVs has been reduced by:

    • 3.1% in 2024

    • 2.3% in 2023

    • 1.4% in 2022

    Table VEH0156 (2018 to 2023)

    Table VEH0156, which reports average CO₂ emissions for newly registered vehicles, has been updated for the years 2018 to 2023. Most changes are minor (under 3%), but the e-NEDC measure saw a larger correction, up to 15.8%, due to a calculation error. Other measures (WLTP and Reported) were less notable, except for April 2020 when COVID-19 led to very few new registrations which led to greater volatility in the resultant percentages.

    Neither these specific revisions, nor any of the others introduced, have had a material impact on the statistics overall, the direction of trends nor the key messages that they previously conveyed.

    Specific details of each revision made has been included in the relevant data table notes to ensure transparency and clarity. Users are advised to review these notes as part of their regular use of the data to ensure their analysis accounts for these changes accordingly.

    If you have questions regarding any of these changes, please contact the Vehicle statistics team.

    Description

    About this data set

    This data set comes from data held by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

    It isn’t classed as an ‘official statistic’. This means it’s not subject to scrutiny and assessment by the UK Statistics Authority.

    Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA)

    You must apply for vehicle approval if you’ve built a vehicle, rebuilt a vehicle, radically altered a vehicle, reconstructed a classic vehicle or imported a vehicle.

    You can use the IVA scheme if you’re making or importing a single vehicle or a very small number of vehicles in the following categories:

    • passenger cars
    • goods vehicles
    • buses and coaches
    • trailers
    • special purpose vehicles, eg vehicles specially designed to hold a wheelchair

    This data table is updated every 3 months.

    Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval (MSVA)

    You must also use the MSVA scheme if your vehicle has been radically altered or built using a mixture of parts from previously registered vehicles. For example:

    • amateur built vehicles
    • rebuilt vehicles
    • vehicles converted to a different wheelplan

    This data table is updated every 3 months.

    Description

    These data sets contain data on current driving licences issued by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). The DVLA is responsible for issuing driving licences in Great Britain (GB). Driving licences issued in Northern Ireland are the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Driver & Vehicle Agency and are outside the scope of this release. DVLA’s drivers database changes constantly as the Agency receives driving licence applications and other information that updates the records of individual drivers. Therefore, it is only possible only to provide a snapshot of the state of the record at a particular time. Further information about driving licensing can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/browse/driving/driving-licences

    Description

    About this data set

    This data set comes from data held by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

    It isn’t classed as an ‘official statistic’. This means it’s not subject to scrutiny and assessment by the UK Statistics Authority.

    Vehicle enforcement checks at roadside and operators’ premises

    As a commercial driver, you might be asked to stop by the police or a DVSA officer. They can stop lorries, buses and coaches.

    The police and DVSA have the power to carry out spot checks on your vehicle and issue prohibitions if necessary. A prohibition prevents you from driving until you get a problem with your vehicle fixed.

    Police and DVSA officers can also issue fixed penalties if you commit an offence. Some of these are graduated depending on the circumstances and seriousness of the offence.

    Light goods vehicles (LGVs) shown in the tables include light goods vehicles, cars, motorcycles, taxis, private hire cars and non-testable vehicles (eg mobile cranes, diggers and non-HGV trailers). The figures exclude vehicles that were sifted.

    This data table is updated every 3 months.

    Severity of defects and offences

    The offence band relates to the severity of the offence, with band 1 containing the least serious offences and band 5 containing the most serious. The categories are:

    • category 1 - an immediate prohibition including an immediate brake, steering or tyre defect
    • category 2 - an immediate prohibition not falling within category 1
    • category 3 - a delayed prohibition including a brake, steering or tyre defect
    • category 4 - a delayed prohibition not falling within category 3

    This data table is updated every 3 months.

    Description

    Information on motor vehicles in Great Britain that were licensed on the 31 December 2013, or which were registered for the first time during 2013.

    Statistics are derived from data held by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), which administers vehicle registration and licensing records in Great Britain.

    In 2013:

    • there were 35 million vehicles licensed for use on the road in Great Britain
    • the number of licensed vehicles in Great Britain has increased every year since the end of the Second World War, except 1991
    • 40% of private cars have a female registered keeper
    • the number of cars with a female registered keeper has increased by 72% since 1994
    • 2.72 million vehicles were registered for the first time during 2013, up 10% on the previous year
    • 4,359 new ultra-low emission vehicles were registered in the UK
    • average CO2 emissions from new cars was 128 g/km

    For the last 3 years, there have been more new registrations of diesel cars than of petrol cars.

    Description

    The roadside survey is a survey of vehicles passing observation points on the UK road network. It uses automatic numberplate recognition (ANPR) cameras to capture registration marks at 256 sites during June each year (or every other from 2011 onwards).

    The data are primarily used to create the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) evasion estimates, MOT non-compliance estimates and foreign-registered vehicles in traffic estimates.

    These files present anonymised individual vehicle observation information by matching the captured registration mark with data held in the DVLA database. The files do not include registration mark, precise observation data / location, keeper name or keeper address details.

    The data will be of use to anyone who wishes to understand the mix of vehicle types using British roads.

    Description

    Accessible Tables and Improved Quality

    As part of the Analysis Function Reproducible Analytical Pipeline Strategy, processes to create all National Travel Survey (NTS) statistics tables have been improved to follow the principles of Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP). This has resulted in improved efficiency and quality of NTS tables and therefore some historical estimates have seen very minor change, at least the fifth decimal place.

    All NTS tables have also been redesigned in an accessible format where they can be used by as many people as possible, including people with an impaired vision, motor difficulties, cognitive impairments or learning disabilities and deafness or impaired hearing.

    If you wish to provide feedback on these changes then please contact us.

    Description

    Department for Transport (DfT) business plan

    Geographical coverage: United Kingdom

    Information broken down by: Data available by local authority on request, published quarterly.

    Latest data

    In the second quarter of 2015 (April to June), 6,527 new ultra-low emission vehicles were registered for the first time in the UK.

    QuarterNew UK registrations of ultra-low emission vehicles
    2014 April to June2,746
    2015 April to June6,527
    Percentage change+138%

    The 6,527 ultra-low emission vehicles registered for the first time in quarter 2 2015 represents an increase of 138% from the figure of 2,746 in the same quarter of the previous year. Most of these vehicles use electric engines, so the Plug-In Car and Plug-In Van Grants introduced by the Department for Transport in January 2011 and February 2012 respectively, and an increase in the supply of electric and plug-in hybrid cars to the UK market will have contributed to this increase. A number of new models came onto the market in 2014.

    Background information

    The Department for Transport uses the term ‘ultra-low emission vehicles’ to refer to vehicles with significantly lower levels of tailpipe emissions than conventional vehicles. In practice, the term currently refers to electric, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Vehicles that use non-fossil fuel propulsion have zero tailpipe emissions. For other propulsion types, only vehicles with tailpipe emissions below 75 grams per kilometre are included. The figures are produced from DVLA’s new registration system and only vehicles being registered in Great Britain or Northern Ireland for the first time are included.

    There is a high level of seasonal variation in new vehicle registrations (for example higher sales when registration plates change in September and April), therefore it is misleading to compare data for consecutive quarters. Comparisons should be made with the same quarter of previous years

    About this data set

    This data set comes from data held by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

    It isn’t classed as an ‘official statistic’. This means it’s not subject to scrutiny and assessment by the UK Statistics Authority.

    Safety defects

    If you find a serious defect that affects the safety of your vehicle, one of its parts, or an accessory, you can report it to DVSA.

    DVSA will investigate the issue with the manufacturer.

    Vehicle recalls

    You need to get your vehicle, vehicle parts and accessories fixed or replaced by the manufacturer if they find a serious problem with them.

    Vehicle recalls are registered with DVSA by the manufacturer.

Description

Data files containing detailed information about vehicles in the UK are also available, including make and model data.

Some tables have been withdrawn and replaced. The table index for this statistical series has been updated to provide a full map between the old and new numbering systems used in this page.

The Department for Transport is committed to continuously improving the quality and transparency of our outputs, in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics. In line with this, we have recently concluded a planned review of the processes and methodologies used in the production of Vehicle licensing statistics data. The review sought to seek out and introduce further improvements and efficiencies in the coding technologies we use to produce our data and as part of that, we have identified several historical errors across the published data tables affecting different historical periods. These errors are the result of mistakes in past production processes that we have now identified, corrected and taken steps to eliminate going forward.

Most of the revisions to our published figures are small, typically changing values by less than 1% to 3%. The key revisions are:

Licensed Vehicles (2014 Q3 to 2016 Q3)

We found that some unlicensed vehicles during this period were mistakenly counted as licensed. This caused a slight overstatement, about 0.54% on average, in the number of licensed vehicles during this period.

3.5 - 4.25 tonnes Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) Classification

Since 2023, ZEVs weighing between 3.5 and 4.25 tonnes have been classified as light goods vehicles (LGVs) instead of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). We have now applied this change to earlier data and corrected an error in table VEH0150. As a result, the number of newly registered HGVs has been reduced by:

  • 3.1% in 2024

  • 2.3% in 2023

  • 1.4% in 2022

Table VEH0156 (2018 to 2023)

Table VEH0156, which reports average CO₂ emissions for newly registered vehicles, has been updated for the years 2018 to 2023. Most changes are minor (under 3%), but the e-NEDC measure saw a larger correction, up to 15.8%, due to a calculation error. Other measures (WLTP and Reported) were less notable, except for April 2020 when COVID-19 led to very few new registrations which led to greater volatility in the resultant percentages.

Neither these specific revisions, nor any of the others introduced, have had a material impact on the statistics overall, the direction of trends nor the key messages that they previously conveyed.

Specific details of each revision made has been included in the relevant data table notes to ensure transparency and clarity. Users are advised to review these notes as part of their regular use of the data to ensure their analysis accounts for these changes accordingly.

If you have questions regarding any of these changes, please contact the Vehicle statistics team.
