Looking at a Proace?
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 Proace is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.
Is the Proace disappearing?
43,807 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Proace is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 236% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 1,324 are declared SORN — 1 in 34 of the 45,131 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.
Proace MOT pass rate
In 2024, 69.3% of 10,764 Toyota Proace MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 76.1% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 52% aged 10–14 years.
- Transmission — 4.8% of tests. A fault with a driveshaft, gaiter or transmission component. Costs vary widely.
- Registration Plate Lamp(s) — 4.5% of tests. The light over the number plate is out. A bulb.
- Position Lamps — 4.5% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
- Mechanical Brake Components — 3.9% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
