Looking at a XF 125?

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 XF 125 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the XF 125 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 594 in 2017 Q2 and stand at 157 in 2026 Q1, down 74%. That is down 52% 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 Herald Motor Company XF 125 generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 74% from the 2017 Q2 peak of 594. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual XF 125 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
