HOW MANY KIA RIO LX ARE LEFT?

There are 295 KIA RIO LX left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 380 KIA RIO LX that are currently SORNED.

The total number of KIA RIO LX was highest during 2007 Q4 (8,160). The number taxed topped out in 2007 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 7,485 (92%) KIA RIO LX have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q3 the number of KIA RIO LX 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 LX has fallen by 4,193. Licensed models have fallen by 4,252 and the SORNed total has increased by 59.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 967 KIA RIO LX models. Taxed models have declined by 912 and the SORNed total has fallen by 55.

56% of the remaining 675 KIA RIO LX in the UK are currently off the road.
