Is the Dodge fleet shrinking?
Adding up every published Dodge model group: Licensed numbers peaked at 11,329 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 2,363 in 2026 Q1, down 79%. That is down 64% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 1,753 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 4,116 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.
Dodge MOT pass rate
In 2024, 55.6% of 1,030 Dodge MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average.
The items most often behind a first-test failure across published Dodge model groups:
- Brake Performance — 19% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
- Position Lamps — 9.9% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
- Suspension Arms — 7.1% of tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
- Stop Lamp — 6% of tests. A brake light out. Usually a bulb.

- Stop Lamp — 6% of tests in 2024. A brake light out. Usually a bulb.
- Ask why it was off the road — Of the 4,116 Dodge vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (1,753 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 79% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 11,329. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.

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.
