Is the Surron fleet shrinking?
Adding up every published Surron model group: Licensed numbers peaked at 538 in 2022 Q1 and stand at 93 in 2026 Q1, down 83%. That is down 70% in the five years since 2021 Q1.
Before you buy
- Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 83% from the 2022 Q1 peak of 538. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
- Check the actual Surron — 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.
