UK vehicle statistics / Hillman

How many Hillman IMP cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 768 licensed and 649 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Hillman IMP generic-model group.

Looking at a IMP?

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

Is the IMP disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 783 in 2023 Q2 and stand at 768 in 2026 Q1, down 2%. The number on the road is unchanged since 2021 Q1. A further 649 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 1,417 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.
