HOW MANY KIA RIO L ARE LEFT?

There are 78 KIA RIO L left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 212 KIA RIO L that are currently SORNED.

The total number of KIA RIO L was highest during 2005 Q4 (5,008). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 4,718 (94%) KIA RIO L have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q4 the number of KIA RIO L that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of KIA RIO L has fallen by 2,178. Licensed models have fallen by 2,210 and the SORNed total has increased by 32.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 385 KIA RIO L models. Taxed models have declined by 350 and the SORNed total has fallen by 35.

73% of the remaining 290 KIA RIO L in the UK are currently off the road.
