HOW MANY VESPA DOUGLAS ARE LEFT?

There are 6,594 VESPA DOUGLAS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 9,273 VESPA DOUGLAS that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more VESPA DOUGLAS, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

During 2016 Q1 the number of VESPA DOUGLAS 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.

In the last 10 years the total number of VESPA DOUGLAS has gained 3,663. Licensed models have increased by 159 and the SORNed total has increased by 3,504.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 1,260 VESPA DOUGLAS models. Taxed models have grown by 185 and the SORNed total has increased by 1,075.

58% of the remaining 15,867 VESPA DOUGLAS in the UK are currently off the road.
