How many Citroen C-Zero cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 169 licensed and 34 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Citroen C-Zero generic-model group.

Looking at a C-Zero?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular C-Zero is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the C-Zero disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 233 in 2017 Q3 and stand at 169 in 2026 Q1, down 27%. That is down 18% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 34 are declared SORN — 1 in 6 of the 203 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Fuel

DfT codes every vehicle in the Citroen C-Zero generic-model group as battery-electric.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 27% from the 2017 Q3 peak of 233. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual C-Zero — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
