Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their estimate of the number of vehicles that are using British roads without either having paid road tax or having insurance cover, or both, in each of the past ten years.

The following table contains the Department’s estimates of the number of unlicensed vehicles in the active vehicle stock in Great Britain. Some years are unavailable as the survey became biennial in 2011.

Neither the Department nor its agency DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) hold figures on the number of vehicles using British roads that do not have insurance cover.
