Looking at a Skyteam?

Population figures describe a model group, not the car in front of you.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. Before buying, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Is the Skyteam fleet shrinking?

Adding up every published Skyteam model group: Licensed numbers peaked at 664 in 2016 Q4 and stand at 311 in 2026 Q1, down 53%. That is down 25% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 53% from the 2016 Q4 peak of 664. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual Skyteam — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.

How to read these numbers

Licensed means taxed and legal to use on the road at the end of the quarter. SORN means the keeper has declared it off the road — it still exists, but it is not in use. A model group's total is the best available proxy for how many survive, and a shrinking one means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply.
