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.
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:

CSV files can be used either as a spreadsheet (using Microsoft Excel or similar spreadsheet packages) or digitally using software packages and languages (for example, R or Python).
When using as a spreadsheet, there will be no formatting, but the file can still be explored like our publication tables. Due to their size, older software might not be able to open the entire file.

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
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Some tables have been withdrawn and replaced.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.
Tables VEH0101 and VEH1104 have not yet been revised to include the recent changes to Large Goods Vehicles (LGV) and Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) definitions for data earlier than 2023 quarter 4. This will be amended as soon as possible.

This data set comes from data held by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).
It is not classed as an ‘official statistic’. This means it’s not subject to scrutiny and assessment by the UK Statistics Authority.
The MOT test checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards. Different types of vehicles (for example, cars and motorcycles) fall into different ‘classes’.
This data table shows the number of initial tests. It does not include abandoned tests, aborted tests, or retests.
The initial fail rate is the rate for vehicles as they were brought for the MOT. The final fail rate excludes vehicles that pass the test after rectification of minor defects at the time of the test.
This data table is updated every 3 months.

These tables give data for the following classes of vehicles:
All figures are for vehicles as they were brought in for the MOT.
A failed test usually has multiple failure items.
The percentage of tests is worked out as the number of tests with one or more failure items in the defect as a percentage of total tests.
The percentage of defects is worked out as the total defects in the category as a percentage of total defects for all categories.
The average defects per initial test failure is worked out as the total failure items as a percentage of total tests failed plus tests that passed after rectification of a minor defect at the time of the test.
These data tables are updated every 3 months.

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.

The Environment Agency is responsible for ensuring that Authorised Waste Treatment Facilities (ATF) sites in England comply with current legislation. We monitor permitted ATF sites to ensure they are treating End of Life Vehicles (ELVs) correctly. Under ELV legislation, ATF sites must issue the last owner of a motor vehicle (car, light van, or three-wheel) with a Certificate of Destruction after scrapping a vehicle and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) will then remove that vehicle from their registration database. The DVLA and the Department for Business Innovation and Skills are responsible for administering charges for disposal. Omission from this register does not necessarily mean that a site does not meet the ELV legislative standards for an ATF. Omission could mean the site operator does want to be on the ATF Register because the site only deals with vehicles that don’t require a Certificate of Destruction, such as motorbikes. INFORMATION WARNING: Omission from this register does not necessarily mean that a site does not meet the ELV legislative standards for an ATF. Omission could mean the site operator does want to be on the ATF Register because the site only deals with vehicles that don’t require a Certificate of Destruction, such as motorbikes.

Following a user engagement exercise, the presentation of the car mileage estimates has changed for 2023, to include more car types and fuel types (subject to availability of data) and to discontinue providing a private or company car breakdown.

DVSA earned recognition for vehicle operators is a way for vehicle operators to prove they meet driver and vehicle standards.
They regularly share performance information with DVSA. In return, their vehicles are less likely to be stopped for inspections.
This list shows operators who have proved they meet the standards and have successfully joined the scheme.
There are currently 132 operators in the scheme, and 39 have been removed since the scheme started.
DVSA removes operators from time to time, for example, when they stop trading as an operator, change company status, no longer meet the criteria for the scheme, or choose to leave.
