Looking at a 911?

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

Is the 911 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 56,608 in 2025 Q2 and stand at 53,627 in 2026 Q1, down 5%. That is up 21% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 19,303 are declared SORN — 1 in 4 of the 72,930 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.
