Population history

Licensed and SORN vehicles at each census. Filters apply to the population, MOT and registration figures together.

Inside the surviving fleet

AutoCensus parses every DVLA variant description, so the fleet can be read by fuel and specification rather than as one number.

First registrations by year

When surviving examples first joined the British fleet.

Recent UK first registrations

This family is no longer sold new. These figures are imports and historic vehicles joining the British register for the first time.

MOT reliability

DVSA test results for this family, 2006 to 2012.

 
Pass rate by year
Failure reason Failures Share of all tests
Amalgamation of failures for all headlamp testers 2 18.2%
Deterioration of the bonding of a rubber bush/mounting resulting in excessive movement 1 9.1%
A registration plate so insecure that it is likely to fall off 1 9.1%
A tyre has a lump, bulge or tear caused by separation or partial failure of its structure. this includes any lifting of the tread rubber 1 9.1%
An obligatory main or dipped beam headlamp not in good working order and in clean condition, i.e. damaged or deteriorated to such an extent that the beam image is adversely affected 1 9.1%
A leak in the system 1 9.1%
An outer constant velocity joint gaiter missing, split or insecurely mounted to it's housing 1 9.1%
A sharp edge or projection, caused by corrosion or damage, which renders the vehicle dangerous to other road users, including pedestrians. 1 9.1%

Counted across every recorded test, 2006 to 2012. Advisories are excluded.

Where the Cx500 remains

Based on MOT test locations, 2012. Test location is a proxy: a vehicle is counted where it was last tested, not where it is kept.

Full methodology

Population figures count vehicles recorded as licensed or SORN in the DVLA quarterly extract. Figures before 2014 cover Great Britain only. Vehicles are grouped into this family by the DVLA GenModel key shown above, with routing rules for known inconsistencies.

Variant figures are parsed from raw DVLA model descriptions and the original string is always retained. Blank transmission fields are shown as manual because DVLA records the field for automatic vehicles.

MOT figures count tests, not vehicles, and geographic figures count each vehicle at its most recent test location. The decline projection is a straight line fitted to the latest five years and is illustrative only.
