Looking at a RC 300?

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 RC 300 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the RC 300 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 2,019 in 2021 Q3 and stand at 1,960 in 2026 Q1, down 3%. That is down 2% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 31 are declared SORN — 1 in 64 of the 1,991 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.

When it shows up in the statistics

Lexus RC 300 first appears in the published DfT series in 2015 Q4. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.
