How many Kawasaki KDT vans are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 385 licensed and 30 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Kawasaki KDT generic-model group.

Looking at a KDT?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular KDT is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the KDT disappearing?

385 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the KDT is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. A further 30 are declared SORN — 1 in 14 of the 415 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Fuel and when it shows up in the statistics

DfT codes every vehicle in the Kawasaki KDT generic-model group as diesel.

Kawasaki KDT first appears in the published DfT series in 2021 Q4. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.
