Looking at a GP 125?

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 GP 125 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the GP 125 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 185 in 2020 Q3 and stand at 27 in 2026 Q1, down 85%. That is down 85% 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 and when it shows up in the statistics

DfT codes every vehicle in the Motorini GP 125 generic-model group as petrol.

Motorini GP 125 first appears in the published DfT series in 2016 Q1. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 85% from the 2020 Q3 peak of 185. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual GP 125 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
