How many Toyota Picnics are left in Great Britain?
There were 164 Toyota Picnics licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 645 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 98.1% fewer than the peak of 8,700 in 2004.
Toyota Picnics licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2004 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
There were not enough MOT tests of Toyota Picnics 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.
Toyota Picnic registrations over time
Registrations of Toyota Picnics for the first time in Great Britain were highest at 317 in 2001, when this data begins. In 2025, 0 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

How we use engine sizes.
Toyota Picnic fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Toyota Picnic from 2000, when the data begins, to 2001. On the NEDC test (listings 2000 to 2001), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 29.1 to 36.2 mpg, with CO2 of 206 to 229 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2001
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2001
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.
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 name “Picnic”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Toyota Picnic safety recalls
DVSA lists 1 safety recall for the Toyota Picnic, launched on 15 June 2015.
Passenger side airbag may fail to deploy correctly
Launched 15 June 2015DVSA recall R/2015/096Manufacturer ref. BGG23
Defect
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Toyota Picnic. 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.
