HOW MANY JAGUAR XJ8 AUTO ARE LEFT?

There are 1,037 JAGUAR XJ8 AUTO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,990 JAGUAR XJ8 AUTO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of JAGUAR XJ8 AUTO was highest during 2002 Q4 (9,136). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 6,109 (67%) JAGUAR XJ8 AUTO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q1 the number of JAGUAR XJ8 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 JAGUAR XJ8 AUTO has fallen by 2,518. Licensed models have fallen by 3,238 and the SORNed total has increased by 720.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1,069 JAGUAR XJ8 AUTO models. Taxed models have declined by 971 and the SORNed total has fallen by 98.

66% of the remaining 3,027 JAGUAR XJ8 AUTO in the UK are currently off the road.
