At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 20 licensed and 156 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Honda Pa50vl generic-model group.

Looking at a Pa50vl?

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 Pa50vl is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Pa50vl disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 33 in 2021 Q3 and stand at 20 in 2026 Q1, down 39%. That is down 37% 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 Honda Pa50vl generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 39% from the 2021 Q3 peak of 33. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual Pa50vl — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
