How many Peugeot ION cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 277 licensed and 56 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Peugeot ION generic-model group.

Looking at a ION?

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

Is the ION disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 428 in 2018 Q3 and stand at 277 in 2026 Q1, down 35%. That is down 23% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 56 are declared SORN — 1 in 6 of the 333 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 Peugeot ION generic-model group as battery-electric.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 35% from the 2018 Q3 peak of 428. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual ION — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
