Looking at a Silver Spur?

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

Is the Silver Spur disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 176 in 2015 Q3 and stand at 96 in 2026 Q1, down 45%. That is down 12% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 99 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 195 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 Rolls Royce Silver Spur generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

Ask why it was off the road — Of the 195 Silver Spur vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (99 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 45% from the 2015 Q3 peak of 176. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
Check the actual Silver Spur — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
