At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 137 licensed and 476 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Suzuki DR 125 generic-model group.

Looking at a DR 125?

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 DR 125 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the DR 125 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 676 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 137 in 2026 Q1, down 80%. That is down 51% 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.

Fuel

DfT codes every vehicle in the Suzuki DR 125 generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 80% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 676. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual DR 125 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
