UK vehicle statistics / Perodua

How many Perodua cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 1,946 licensed and 695 SORN Perodua vehicles in the UK, across 4 published model groups. That means 1 in 4 surviving Perodua is currently off the road.

Is the Perodua fleet shrinking?

Adding up every published Perodua model group: Licensed numbers peaked at 6,511 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 1,946 in 2026 Q1, down 70%. That is down 44% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 695 are declared SORN — 1 in 4 of the 2,641 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

Perodua MOT pass rate

In 2024, 67.1% of 1,680 Perodua MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average.

The items most often behind a first-test failure across published Perodua model groups:

• Wipers — 5.2% of tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
• Exhaust Emissions — 4.8% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
• Suspension Arms — 4.3% of tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
• Anti-roll Bars — 4.2% of tests. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.

• Ask why it was off the road — Of the 2,641 Perodua vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 4 is SORN (695 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 70% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 6,511. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.

How to read these numbers

Licensed means taxed and legal to use on the road at the end of the quarter. SORN means the keeper has declared it off the road — it still exists, but it is not in use. A model group's total is the best available proxy for how many survive, and a shrinking one means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply.
