UK vehicle statistics / TGB

How many TGB FTH vans are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 106 licensed and 51 SORN vehicles in the UK within the TGB FTH generic-model group.

Looking at a FTH?

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

Is the FTH disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 115 in 2025 Q4 and stand at 106 in 2026 Q1, down 8%. That is up 100% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 51 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 157 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.
