Looking at a Cx500c?

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 Cx500c is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Cx500c disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 93 in 2025 Q3 and stand at 88 in 2026 Q1, down 5%. That is up 73% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 142 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 230 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.

Before you buy

Ask why it was off the road — Of the 230 Cx500c vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (142 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
Check the actual Cx500c — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
