Looking at a TT?

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

Is the TT disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 328 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 168 in 2026 Q1, down 49%. That is down 28% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 313 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 481 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 Yamaha TT generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 481 TT vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (313 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 49% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 328. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual TT — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
