Looking at a SUR-RON Light BEE?

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 SUR-RON Light BEE is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the SUR-RON Light BEE disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 538 in 2022 Q1 and stand at 93 in 2026 Q1, down 83%. That is down 70% 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 SUR-RON Light BEE generic-model group as battery-electric.

SUR-RON Light BEE first appears in the published DfT series in 2018 Q4. 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 83% from the 2022 Q1 peak of 538. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual SUR-RON Light BEE — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
