How many Lexmoto Matador motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 35 licensed and 229 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Lexmoto Matador generic-model group.

Looking at a Matador?

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

Is the Matador disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 438 in 2019 Q2 and stand at 35 in 2026 Q1, down 92%. That is down 88% 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.
