HOW MANY AUSTIN METRO ARE LEFT?

There are 298 AUSTIN METRO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,308 AUSTIN METRO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of AUSTIN METRO was highest during 1994 Q4 (571,622). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 570,016 (100%) AUSTIN METRO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q4 the number of AUSTIN METRO 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 AUSTIN METRO has fallen by 63. Licensed models have fallen by 171 and the SORNed total has increased by 108.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 19 AUSTIN METRO models. Taxed models have grown by 33 and the SORNed total has fallen by 52.

81% of the remaining 1,606 AUSTIN METRO in the UK are currently off the road.
