UK vehicle statistics / Beta

How many Beta REV motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 34 licensed and 581 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Beta REV generic-model group.

Looking at a REV?

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 REV is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the REV disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 89 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 34 in 2026 Q1, down 62%. That is down 40% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

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.
