    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    Some tables have been withdrawn and replaced.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

    In March 2020 more than ****** mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV) were sold in the United Kingdom. The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) tends to issue new registration plates in March and September and hence, registration figures frequently soar in these months.

    The number of cars with alternative fuels grows

    Unlike plug-in electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, mild hybrid electric vehicles are included in the segment of petrol and diesel-fueled cars in the SMMT's latest publications. This fact notwithstanding, vehicles with hybrid-electric propulsion held a market share of just under ***** percent in 2020. At the same time, the number of petrol and diesel-fueled cars registered is expected to fall to as low as *********** units in 2020. There is a shift away from internal combustion engines Environmental regulations and the Volkswagen diesel scandal are probable causes for the decline of diesel and petrol car registrations in the United Kingdom. Other reasons include incentives to go electric and improvements in the charging infrastructure. The variety of models available in the market is also on the rise.

    Understanding Society, (UK Household Longitudinal Study), which began in 2009, is conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex and the survey research organisations Verian Group (formerly Kantar Public) and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991.

    The Understanding Society: Linked Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) Dataset, 2013-2015 study contains vehicle data extracted from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) for vehicles that Understanding Society respondents have specifically identified as having access to: 32 key variables for each vehicle are included. Vehicle statistics contain but are not limited to: brand name, year of manufacture, year of first registration, price band, engine size, vehicle mass, CO2 emissions, and fuel type.

    This dataset can be linked through the household identifier variable (hidp) to one of the main Understanding Society datasets: SN 6614 (End User Licence), SN 6931 (Special Licence) or SN 6676 (Secure Access). See documentation for further details.

    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

    Number of licensed vehicles (in thousands) at year end broken down by type including , cars, motor cycles, light goods, heavy goods, buses an coaches, and Other.

    Vehicles are allocated to a local authority according to the postcode of the registered keeper. This is the keeper's address for privately owned vehicles or the company's registered address for company owned vehicles. Significant changes in the number of vehicles from year to year can often occur when a companies with a large number of vehicles change their registered address.

    Other vehicles includes rear diggers, lift trucks, rollers, ambulances, Hackney Carriages, three wheelers and agricultural vehicles.

    Description

    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.

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.
