UK vehicle statistics / Kubota

How many Kubota BX Series cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 390 licensed and 158 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Kubota BX Series generic-model group.

Looking at a BX Series?

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

Is the BX Series disappearing?

390 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the BX Series is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 54% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 158 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 548 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 Kubota BX Series generic-model group as diesel.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 548 BX Series vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (158 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Check the actual BX Series — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
