HOW MANY EPC ARE LEFT?

There are 0 EPC left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 4 EPC that are currently SORNED.

The total number of EPC was highest during 2003 Q4 (14). The number taxed topped out in 2003 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 10 (71%) EPC have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q4 the number of EPC 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 EPC has fallen by 0. Licensed models have fallen by 2 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1 EPC models. Taxed models have declined by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

100% of the remaining 4 EPC in the UK are currently off the road.
