How many Porsche Cayenne cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 40,727 licensed and 5,006 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Porsche Cayenne generic-model group.

Is the Cayenne disappearing?

40,727 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Cayenne is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 34% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 5,006 are declared SORN — 1 in 9 of the 45,733 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.

Cayenne MOT pass rate

In 2024, 84.2% of 26,612 Porsche Cayenne MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 92.9% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 72.9% aged 15–30 years.

• Condition — 3.9% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
• Headlamp Aim — 2% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
• Springs — 2% of tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
• Exhaust Emissions — 1.8% 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.
