Looking at a RS 457?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular RS 457 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the RS 457 disappearing?

156 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the RS 457 is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. A further 19 are declared SORN — 1 in 9 of the 175 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Fuel and when it shows up in the statistics

DfT codes every vehicle in the Aprilia RS 457 generic-model group as petrol.

Aprilia RS 457 first appears in the published DfT series in 2024 Q2. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.
