Is the Jaguar fleet shrinking?
Adding up every published Jaguar model group: Licensed numbers peaked at 385,541 in 2021 Q2 and stand at 350,912 in 2026 Q1, down 9%. That is down 7% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 72,426 are declared SORN — 1 in 6 of the 423,338 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.
Jaguar MOT pass rate
In 2024, 78.5% of 289,965 Jaguar MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average.
The items most often behind a first-test failure across published Jaguar model groups:
- Condition — 3.9% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
- Suspension Arms — 2.3% of tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
- Exhaust Emissions — 2% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
- Mechanical Brake Components — 1.8% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.

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.
