How many Renault Twizy cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 405 licensed and 205 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Renault Twizy generic-model group.

Looking at a Twizy?

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

Is the Twizy disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 497 in 2022 Q3 and stand at 405 in 2026 Q1, down 19%. That is down 16% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 205 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 610 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.

Fuel

DfT codes every vehicle in the Renault Twizy generic-model group as battery-electric.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 610 Twizy vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (205 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Check the actual Twizy — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
