UK vehicle statistics / LDV

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 2,145 licensed and 376 SORN vehicles in the UK within the LDV V80 generic-model group.

Looking at a V80?

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 V80 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the V80 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 2,769 in 2022 Q1 and stand at 2,145 in 2026 Q1, down 23%. That is down 22% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 376 are declared SORN — 1 in 7 of the 2,521 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.

When it shows up in the statistics

LDV V80 first appears in the published DfT series in 2016 Q2. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.
