At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 113 licensed and 149 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Honda Cx500 generic-model group.

Looking at a Cx500?

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 Cx500 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Cx500 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 117 in 2024 Q3 and stand at 113 in 2026 Q1, down 3%. That is up 79% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 149 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 262 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 Honda Cx500 generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 262 Cx500 vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (149 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Check the actual Cx500 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
