HOW MANY JCM ARE LEFT?

There are 2 JCM left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 18 JCM that are currently SORNED.

The total number of JCM was highest during 2013 Q3 (43). The number taxed topped out in 2013 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 23 (53%) JCM have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q4 the number of JCM 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 JCM has fallen by 9. Licensed models have fallen by 17 and the SORNed total has increased by 8.

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

90% of the remaining 20 JCM in the UK are currently off the road.
