HOW MANY DAIMLER 4.0 AUTO ARE LEFT?

There are 60 DAIMLER 4.0 AUTO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 196 DAIMLER 4.0 AUTO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of DAIMLER 4.0 AUTO was highest during 1996 Q4 (1,456). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2022 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,200 (82%) DAIMLER 4.0 AUTO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of DAIMLER 4.0 AUTO 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 DAIMLER 4.0 AUTO has fallen by 92. Licensed models have fallen by 102 and the SORNed total has increased by 10.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 48 DAIMLER 4.0 AUTO models. Taxed models have declined by 43 and the SORNed total has fallen by 5.

77% of the remaining 256 DAIMLER 4.0 AUTO in the UK are currently off the road.
