Judging by the latest figures on the How Many Left? site, that's not the case I'm afraid. They are going to the crusher in their droves, especially the roundnose models.

Not good! 
There are less than half the number of Multiplas on UK roads now compared to this time in 2015. 9,097 were road registered at the end of 2014. As of the end of 2017, that figure was 4,272 - a 53% reduction. Year-on-year, numbers are decreasing by around 20-25%. If that trend continues, by the end of 2020 there will only be around 2,000 left. That's all models, round and square nosed.
In the case of the roundnose JTD ELX 115 (which in my view is the best of the Multiplas), last year alone almost a third disappeared from UK roads.

Agree, I have that ELX model in a 2004 round nose and love it.
Your decline numbers are fascinating. Pity the parts for second hand bits on ebay are not dropping with increased number of scrappers !
For me they hit a "lot of work" about 90 k miles and they make you think it will never end but it did on mine.

They are at the age, where if it runs it's a cheap van. If it doesn't it's cheaper to buy something that does.
Utility cars don't tend to reach old old age, they get patched up until they aren't worth fixing and then off they go. It's not like a Micra that might by some chance reach 25 years old because the first owner used it once a week to get the paper or a gti or xr3 e.t.c. where the owner will say "I'll get her going again". Some will get there but looking at mk1 uno and puntos they will remain as oddities for the faithful not recognised classics.
