UK vehicle statistics / Vespa (Douglas)

How many Vespa (Douglas) P200e motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 232 licensed and 242 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Vespa (Douglas) P200e generic-model group.

Looking at a P200e?

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 P200e is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the P200e disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 250 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 232 in 2026 Q1, down 7%. That is up 11% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 242 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 474 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 Vespa (Douglas) P200e generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 474 P200e vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (242 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Check the actual P200e — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
