UK vehicle statistics / Daihatsu

How many Daihatsu F50 cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 26 licensed and 100 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Daihatsu F50 generic-model group.

Looking at a F50?

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 F50 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the F50 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 28 in 2025 Q4 and stand at 26 in 2026 Q1, down 7%. That is up 63% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

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.
