HOW MANY MASH FIFTY ARE LEFT?

There are 141 MASH FIFTY left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 173 MASH FIFTY that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more MASH FIFTY, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 2022 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

During 2024 Q3 the number of MASH FIFTY 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.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 137 MASH FIFTY models. Taxed models have grown by 4 and the SORNed total has increased by 133.

55% of the remaining 314 MASH FIFTY in the UK are currently off the road.
