HOW MANY AUSTIN METRO HLS ARE LEFT?

There are 7 AUSTIN METRO HLS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 19 AUSTIN METRO HLS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of AUSTIN METRO HLS was highest during 1994 Q4 (6,423). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 6,397 (100%) AUSTIN METRO HLS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of AUSTIN METRO HLS 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 HLS has gained 11. Licensed models have increased by 5 and the SORNed total has increased by 6.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 3 AUSTIN METRO HLS models. Taxed models have grown by 4 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

73% of the remaining 26 AUSTIN METRO HLS in the UK are currently off the road.
