NOTICE OF SUPPLY

Licensed vehicles by bodytype, keepership, and licence status for Output Areas (OA 2011) in the United Kingdom, as at 31 December 2024

The Data folder contains a CSV file with a data table disclosed by the UK Department for Transport (DfT), on behalf of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), on 9 July 2025. The data was disclosed to me in response to information requests made on 16 June 2025 under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015.

I have added column headers to the CSV file. No other changes have been made to the data. The data does not contain any suppression of small numbers.

A copy of relevant correspondence with DfT is included in the Docs folder.

Please note that the location of the vehicle is based on the DVLA Registered Keeper Address, which is not necessarily that of the owner or driver of the vehicle.

DfT has confirmed that the data may be re-used under the terms of the Open Government Licence v3 (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/).

Information about the Open Government Licence is available on the UK National Archives website.

DfT has not specified an attribution statement. I recommend using: "Contains public sector information from DfT/DVLA © Crown copyright and database right 2025, licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0."

Users of this data table may also be interested in DfT's "vehicles by small geography" files, available at:
