Looking at a Speed?

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

Is the Speed disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 168 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 5 in 2026 Q1, down 97%. That is down 80% 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 Keeway Speed generic-model group as petrol.
