How many Triumph Heralds are left in Great Britain?

There were 2,595 Triumph Heralds licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 2,013 declared off the road (SORN). That is 48.2% fewer than the peak of 5,008 in 1997.

Triumph Herald MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Triumph Heralds 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.

Triumph Herald engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 2,645 Triumph Heralds licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 50.7% have an engine of 1,201cc to 1,300cc, and 38.4% have an engine of 1,101cc to 1,200cc.

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.

Triumph Herald safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Triumph Herald 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 Triumph Herald. 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.
