Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many vintage cars were registered in Edinburgh in each year since 2010.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) does not capture information on whether a vehicle is classed as “vintage”. However, vehicles that were first registered or constructed more than 40 years ago may be able to be licensed in the “Historic Vehicle” taxation class and would be exempt from the payment of vehicle excise duty.
The table below shows the number of cars licensed in the Historic Vehicle taxation class where the vehicle is registered to an address in Edinburgh. Information before 2021 is not available.
Year | Total number of cars licensed in the Historic Vehicle tax class at the end of August of each year where the car is registered to an address in Edinburgh |
2021 | 1,924 |
2022 | 2,025 |
2023 | 1,978 |
2024 | 2,187 |
2025 | 2,237 |
