HOW MANY PLA ARE LEFT?
There are 1 PLA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1 PLA that are currently SORNED.
There are currently more PLA, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 2023 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.
During 2024 Q3 the number of PLA that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.
50% of the surviving 2 PLA in the UK are still on the road.
