Is the Camry disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 2,085 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 1,471 in 2026 Q1, down 29%. That is down 7% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 635 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 2,106 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.

Camry MOT pass rate

In 2024, 86.9% of 1,529 Toyota Camry MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 93.1% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 69.1% aged 15–30 years.

• Condition — 2.4% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
• Wipers — 1.8% of tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
• Exhaust Emissions — 1.8% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
• Anti-roll Bars — 1.6% of tests. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.

• Ask why it was off the road — Of the 2,106 Camry vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (635 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
• Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 29% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 2,085. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
