How many Porsche Carreras are left in Great Britain?

There were 855 Porsche Carreras licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 1,009 declared off the road (SORN). That is 51.5% fewer than the peak of 1,762 in 1999.

Porsche Carrera MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Porsche Carreras 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.

Porsche Carrera engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 887 Porsche Carreras licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 73.7% have an engine of 3,101cc to 3,200cc, and 7.8% have an engine of 3,401cc to 3,500cc.

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.

All 3 Porsche Carrera recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Porsche Carrera. 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.
