How many Generic XOR 50 motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 0 licensed and 132 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Generic XOR 50 generic-model group.

Looking at a XOR 50?

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 XOR 50 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the XOR 50 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 115 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 0 in 2026 Q1, down 100%. That is down 100% 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.

Fuel

DfT codes every vehicle in the Generic XOR 50 generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 100% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 115. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual XOR 50 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.

Common questions

How many Generic XOR 50 motorcycles are left in the UK?

0 were licensed and 132 were SORN at the end of 2026 Q1, according to DfT and DVLA statistics for this generic-model group.

How many Generic XOR 50 motorcycles are SORN?

132 are declared SORN, alongside 0 licensed, at the end of 2026 Q1.

Is the XOR 50 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 115 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 0 in 2026 Q1, down 100%. That is down 100% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

What fuel is the XOR 50 coded as?

DfT codes every vehicle in the Generic XOR 50 generic-model group as petrol.

Does this say whether one XOR 50 is a good buy?

No. These are population figures for the model group. Enter that vehicle's registration for its own free MOT, tax and mileage record.
