At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 50 licensed and 325 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Lexmoto FMR 50 generic-model group.

Looking at a FMR 50?

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 FMR 50 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the FMR 50 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 632 in 2018 Q2 and stand at 50 in 2026 Q1, down 92%. That is down 83% 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 and when it shows up in the statistics

DfT codes every vehicle in the Lexmoto FMR 50 generic-model group as petrol.

Lexmoto FMR 50 first appears in the published DfT series in 2015 Q3. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 92% from the 2018 Q2 peak of 632. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual FMR 50 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
