Is the Ducati fleet shrinking?

Adding up every published Ducati model group: Licensed numbers peaked at 33,312 in 2025 Q2 and stand at 28,620 in 2026 Q1, down 14%. That is up 19% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 52,625 Ducati vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (24,005 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Check the actual Ducati — 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.
