HOW MANY HUONIAO ARE LEFT?

There are 92 HUONIAO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 912 HUONIAO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of HUONIAO was highest during 2015 Q4 (1,509). The number taxed topped out in 2012 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 505 (33%) HUONIAO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q4 the number of HUONIAO 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 HUONIAO has fallen by 451. Licensed models have fallen by 805 and the SORNed total has increased by 354.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 221 HUONIAO models. Taxed models have declined by 194 and the SORNed total has fallen by 27.

91% of the remaining 1,004 HUONIAO in the UK are currently off the road.
