UK vehicle statistics / DS

How many DS DS4 cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 6,474 licensed and 188 SORN vehicles in the UK within the DS DS4 generic-model group.

Looking at a DS4?

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 DS4 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the DS4 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 6,644 in 2025 Q2 and stand at 6,474 in 2026 Q1, down 3%. That is up 42% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 188 are declared SORN — 1 in 35 of the 6,662 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.
