How many MG 1100 cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 110 licensed and 38 SORN vehicles in the UK within the MG 1100 generic-model group.

Looking at a 1100?

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 1100 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the 1100 disappearing?

110 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the 1100 is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 3% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 38 are declared SORN — 1 in 4 of the 148 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.

Fuel

DfT codes every vehicle in the MG 1100 generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 148 1100 vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 4 is SORN (38 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Check the actual 1100 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
