HOW MANY KIA RIO LE ARE LEFT?

There are 140 KIA RIO LE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 247 KIA RIO LE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of KIA RIO LE was highest during 2006 Q4 (4,602). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 4,215 (92%) KIA RIO LE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2023 Q3 the number of KIA RIO LE 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 LE has fallen by 2,916. Licensed models have fallen by 2,986 and the SORNed total has increased by 70.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 685 KIA RIO LE models. Taxed models have declined by 634 and the SORNed total has fallen by 51.

64% of the remaining 387 KIA RIO LE in the UK are currently off the road.
