Being very sad, when I discovered that UK vehicle registration information is publicly available (https://www.gov.uk/g...2-licensed-cars), I did some Yeti analysis on the VEH0220 table.

If I have interpreted the figures correctly, these are currently DVLA registered vehicles as of end 2012.

Total Yetis: 17203

Of these (figures are percentages, again, with my interpretation and categorisation)

DSG: 15.2%

4WD: 33.6% (hardest to interpret because of 2.0 TDI 110 being available in 2WD and 4WD)

By engine size:

1.2 TSI: 24.3% (most popular petrol)

1.4 TSI: 3.0%

1.6 TDI: 8.7%

1.8 TSI: 4.1%

2.0 TDI 110: 30.6% (most popular diesel)

2.0 TDI 140: 22.8%

2.0 TDI 170: 6.6%

By model:

E: 0.7%

S: 18%

SE: 35.6%

SE Plus: 7.0%

Elegance: 34.6%

Urban: 4.1%

The least popular single variant as defined by the DVLA is the SE Plus 140 DSG, with only 6 registered in total. There is apparently a lone 1.4 TSI E, which according to my brochure was never on sale. However, DVLA do warn that engine size data is not completely accurate.

As you say, very sad

Nevertheless, we all (well, some of us) like Yeti statistics. My maths is atrocious otherwise I could work out how many other 'Annies' there are. Couldn't I?

No maths required for that one. There are 372 SE TDI S/A (which I assumed stands for semi-automatic aka DSG).

Wow! I'm impressed. Thanks for that, Zib.

I'm not surprised the SE+ CR140 DSG is only a small number, as the SE+ has not been around as long as the SE & Elegances.

I can't read the data on the iPhone easily, so how many CR140 DSG Elegances?

What is the most popular colour? Can you tell?

Brilliant find!

thanks for the information - appreciated and interesting.

In the raw data, 835. The 1.2 DSG is slightly more popular than the 2.0 TDI DSG, but there's not much in it.

As far as I can tell without going into them one by one, none of the published DVLA tables have colour information.

Thanks Zib

Based on the figure above in post #1 there are over 2,600 DSG's of which 835 are Elegance CR140's. there will be some SE ones as well. The balance will be 1.2DSG's of various trims levels.

Is also makes my model approx 5% of all sales. Sad I know !!!!

When I was in the process of buying mine, I asked one dealer which sold best. His response was any 1.2, any diesel engine, and generally Elegance spec. Although SE's have slightly outsold Elegances, it wouldn't surprise me if the Elegances sell quicker off the forecourt - more of people's must-have toys.

Thanks Zib for a brilliant piece of analysis.

What's your next project?

Thank you. Maybe proving that 1.2 TSI's are more reliable than anything from Honda or Toyota? :think:

This site is quite handy too, uses the DVLA data but presents it differently:

Yes, it was through that site I found the DVLA data. It's great for a spot of nostalgia.
