Looking at a Bailey?
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 Bailey is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.
Is the Bailey disappearing?
Licensed numbers peaked at 1,239 in 2025 Q2 and stand at 1,165 in 2026 Q1, down 6%. That is up 33% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 123 are declared SORN — 1 in 10 of the 1,288 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.
