Looking at a SMT?

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

Is the SMT disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 88 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 9 in 2026 Q1, down 90%. That is down 64% 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 Gilera SMT generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 90% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 88. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
Check the actual SMT — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
