HOW MANY YALE ARE LEFT?

There are 192 YALE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 424 YALE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of YALE was highest during 2020 Q1 (635). The number taxed topped out in 1995 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 19 (3%) YALE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q1 the number of YALE 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 YALE has gained 203. Licensed models have fallen by 132 and the SORNed total has increased by 335.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 5 YALE models. Taxed models have declined by 198 and the SORNed total has increased by 193.

69% of the remaining 616 YALE in the UK are currently off the road.
