How many Toyota Estima cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 5,026 licensed and 501 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Toyota Estima generic-model group.

Is the Estima disappearing?

5,026 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Estima is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 374% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 501 are declared SORN — 1 in 11 of the 5,527 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.

In 2024, 76.4% of 15,808 Toyota Estima MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average.
