How many Quadzilla 300 vans are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 31 licensed and 428 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Quadzilla 300 generic-model group.

Looking at a 300?

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

Is the 300 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 292 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 31 in 2026 Q1, down 89%. That is down 74% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

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.
