Looking at a Spyder?

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

Is the Spyder disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 653 in 2019 Q2 and stand at 482 in 2026 Q1, down 26%. That is down 17% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 241 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 723 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

DfT codes every vehicle in the CAN-AM Spyder generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 723 Spyder vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (241 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 26% from the 2019 Q2 peak of 653. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual Spyder — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
