HOW MANY BMW 318 TDS ARE LEFT?

There are 9 BMW 318 TDS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 92 BMW 318 TDS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 318 TDS was highest during 2000 Q4 (1,510). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 1,409 (93%) BMW 318 TDS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q2 the number of BMW 318 TDS 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 BMW 318 TDS has fallen by 154. Licensed models have fallen by 161 and the SORNed total has increased by 7.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 23 BMW 318 TDS models. Taxed models have declined by 13 and the SORNed total has fallen by 10.

91% of the remaining 101 BMW 318 TDS in the UK are currently off the road.
