How many Skoda Favorit cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 51 licensed and 365 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Skoda Favorit generic-model group.

Looking at a Favorit?

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

Is the Favorit disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 417 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 51 in 2026 Q1, down 88%. That is down 36% 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 88% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 417. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual Favorit — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
