What the numbers say about the DS DS 7

The number of DS DS 7s on the road is down 1.5% on a year earlier, behind the +1.5% for all cars and ahead of DS as a whole (−2.0%). It is within 5% of its peak of 5,304 (December 2025).

Only 11 were first registered in the UK from July 2025 to June 2026, so the DS DS 7 is effectively no longer sold new here: the number on the road can only shrink as cars are scrapped, exported or taken off the road.

52% of licensed DS DS 7s are diesel, against 27% of all cars. Electric and plug-in hybrid versions make up 18.9% (all cars: 8.8%).

0% of those licensed at the end of 2025 were first used in 2015 or earlier (all cars: 44%), and 1.5% of registered DS DS 7s are SORN against 9.9% of all cars.

How old DS DS 7s on the road are

Official data from DfT table VEH0124: cars licensed and SORN at 31 December 2025 in the whole UK, by the year the car was first used (for a car imported used, that is its first use abroad). This table is annual and UK-wide, so its total (5,659 licensed) differs from the quarterly Great Britain figure.

Limitations

Licensed means taxed or tax-exempt and allowed on the road at the quarter end; SORN cars are registered but declared off the road. DfT groups cars by its own “generic model” (DS DS7), which 73 Auto maps to the DS DS 7 as named in our list-price catalogue; body styles and derivatives sold under that name are included. The Great Britain quarterly figures and the UK annual age table are separate official tables, so their totals differ slightly.
