HOW MANY BMW 525 TD ARE LEFT?

There are 9 BMW 525 TD left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 83 BMW 525 TD that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW 525 TD was highest during 1996 Q4 (1,095). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 1,003 (92%) BMW 525 TD have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q1 the number of BMW 525 TD 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 525 TD has fallen by 46. Licensed models have fallen by 72 and the SORNed total has increased by 26.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 9 BMW 525 TD models. Taxed models have declined by 8 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

90% of the remaining 92 BMW 525 TD in the UK are currently off the road.
