Looking at a F848?

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 F848 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the F848 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 270 in 2016 Q2 and stand at 123 in 2026 Q1, down 54%. That is down 28% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 134 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 257 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 Ducati F848 generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 257 F848 vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (134 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 54% from the 2016 Q2 peak of 270. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual F848 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
