Looking at a Gt86?

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 Gt86 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Gt86 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 6,732 in 2020 Q4 and stand at 6,228 in 2026 Q1, down 7%. That is down 7% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 499 are declared SORN — 1 in 13 of the 6,727 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.

Fuel

DfT codes every vehicle in the Toyota Gt86 generic-model group as petrol.

Gt86 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 83.7% of 5,367 Toyota Gt86 MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 92.1% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 80.2% aged 10–14 years.

  • Exhaust Emissions — 2.7% 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.
  • Condition — 2.5% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
  • Tread Depth — 1.8% of tests. Tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Budget for tyres, and treat it as a sign of how the car was maintained.
  • Brake Performance — 1.6% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
