How many Mini Mini Cooper SE cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 7,667 licensed and 50 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Mini Mini Cooper SE generic-model group.

Looking at a Mini Cooper SE?

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

Is the Mini Cooper SE disappearing?

7,667 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Mini Cooper SE is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them.

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.
