At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 121 licensed and 165 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Motorini Misano generic-model group.

Is the Misano disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 272 in 2022 Q4 and stand at 121 in 2026 Q1, down 56%. That is down 8% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 165 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 286 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 and when it shows up in the statistics

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

Motorini Misano first appears in the published DfT series in 2019 Q3. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Before you buy

• Ask why it was off the road — Of the 286 Misano vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (165 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
• Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 56% from the 2022 Q4 peak of 272. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
• Check the actual Misano — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
