UK vehicle statistics / Sherco

How many Sherco 300 motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 341 licensed and 623 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Sherco 300 generic-model group.

Looking at a 300?

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

Is the 300 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 460 in 2023 Q1 and stand at 341 in 2026 Q1, down 26%. That is up 8% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 623 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 964 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.
