There are 28 AUSTIN METRO HLE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 67 AUSTIN METRO HLE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of AUSTIN METRO HLE was highest during 1994 Q4 (44,964). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.
