Looking at a 25?

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

Is the 25 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 94 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 17 in 2026 Q1, down 82%. That is down 60% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

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.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 82% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 94. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual 25 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
