Looking at a Gilera?
Population figures describe a model group, not the car in front of you.
Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. Before buying, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.
Is the Gilera fleet shrinking?
Adding up every published Gilera model group: Licensed numbers peaked at 7,489 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 1,104 in 2026 Q1, down 85%. That is down 48% in the five years since 2021 Q1.
Before you buy
- Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 85% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 7,489. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
- Check the actual Gilera — 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.
