Looking at a CAN-AM?
Population figures describe a model group, not the car in front of you.
Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. Before buying, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.
Is the CAN-AM fleet shrinking?
Adding up every published CAN-AM model group: Licensed numbers peaked at 2,574 in 2024 Q3 and stand at 2,414 in 2026 Q1, down 6%. That is up 7% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 1,240 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 3,654 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.
Before you buy
- Ask why it was off the road — Of the 3,654 CAN-AM vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (1,240 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
- Check the actual CAN-AM — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.

How to read these numbers
Licensed means taxed and legal to use on the road at the end of the quarter. SORN means the keeper has declared it off the road — it still exists, but it is not in use. A model group's total is the best available proxy for how many survive, and a shrinking one means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply.
