MG TF: how many are still registered?

14,367still registered

MG TF cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 21 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 25,878 (2009 Q2) - 55.5% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 4.4% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 11,470 in 2030.

6,767 of the survivors (47.1%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the MG TF nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 14,367 surviving MG TF cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 7,669 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 65.1% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
