At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 5 licensed and 122 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Kymco Hipster generic-model group.

Looking at a Hipster?

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

Is the Hipster disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 94 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 5 in 2026 Q1, down 95%. That is down 83% 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.
