UK vehicle statistics / Neco

How many Neco JN motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 207 licensed and 95 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Neco JN generic-model group.

Looking at a JN?

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

Is the JN disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 212 in 2024 Q2 and stand at 207 in 2026 Q1, down 2%. A further 95 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 302 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.
