Is the Levc fleet shrinking?
Adding up every published Levc model group: 11,201 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Levc range is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 168% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 158 are declared SORN — 1 in 72 of the 11,359 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.
Levc MOT pass rate
In 2024, 88.4% of 7,007 Levc MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average.
The items most often behind a first-test failure across published Levc model groups:
- Tread Depth — 2.6% of tests. Tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Budget for tyres, and treat it as a sign of how the car was maintained.
- Suspension Arms — 2.6% of tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
- Wipers — 1.6% of tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
- Washers — 1.4% of tests. Empty or blocked washers. Trivial, but again a sign of the last owner's care.

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.
