In response, we have archived the predecessor series (March 2010 to September 2016) by renaming it with an "_16" specifier, and by marking its metadata and catalog entry as "discontinued.". The replacement starts at March 2014. Figures are unitary count (#) not seasonally adjusted (NSA).

The  series reside in the historical catalog (Malta » Consumer » Stock of registered motor vehicles » Quarterly, from 2010) and are:

• CSQRGPCO_16UQ.IMLT = [DISCONTINUED] Registered Vehicle Stock: Passenger Car - Other (#)
• CSQRGPCOUQ.IMLT    = Registered Vehicle Stock: Passenger Car - Other (#)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
