How many Ducati S4 motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 81 licensed and 318 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Ducati S4 generic-model group.

Looking at a S4?

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 S4 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the S4 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 261 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 81 in 2026 Q1, down 69%. That is down 34% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

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 S4 generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 69% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 261. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual S4 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
