HOW MANY ERF MODEL MISSING ARE LEFT?

There are 1,301 ERF MODEL MISSING left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 4,741 ERF MODEL MISSING that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ERF MODEL MISSING was highest during 1997 Q4 (26,495). The number taxed topped out in 1997 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 20,453 (77%) ERF MODEL MISSING have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q4 the number of ERF MODEL MISSING 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 ERF MODEL MISSING has fallen by 997. Licensed models have fallen by 2,344 and the SORNed total has increased by 1,347.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 411 ERF MODEL MISSING models. Taxed models have declined by 437 and the SORNed total has increased by 26.

78% of the remaining 6,042 ERF MODEL MISSING in the UK are currently off the road.
