How many Morgan Roadsters are left in Great Britain?

Morgan Roadster MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Morgan Roadsters in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Morgan Roadster engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 360 Morgan Roadsters licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 51.9% have an engine of 2,901cc to 3,000cc, and 46.9% have an engine of 3,701cc to 3,800cc. The share with an engine of 2,901cc to 3,000cc has fallen from 71.2% in 2014 to 51.9%.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Roadster”, “Morgan Roadster”, “Roadster 3000”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Morgan Roadster safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Morgan Roadster in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Morgan Roadster. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
