Looking at a 6000 Series?

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 6000 Series is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the 6000 Series disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 19,349 in 2022 Q3 and stand at 17,143 in 2026 Q1, down 11%. That is up 4% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 731 are declared SORN — 1 in 24 of the 17,874 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.
