HOW MANY YAMAHA XP500 ARE LEFT?

There are 266 YAMAHA XP500 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 473 YAMAHA XP500 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of YAMAHA XP500 was highest during 2012 Q1 (1,284). The number taxed topped out in 2011 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 545 (42%) YAMAHA XP500 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q4 the number of YAMAHA XP500 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 YAMAHA XP500 has fallen by 456. Licensed models have fallen by 736 and the SORNed total has increased by 280.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 116 YAMAHA XP500 models. Taxed models have declined by 184 and the SORNed total has increased by 68.

64% of the remaining 739 YAMAHA XP500 in the UK are currently off the road.
