HOW MANY MAZDA MX 5 DAKAR ARE LEFT?

There are 99 MAZDA MX 5 DAKAR left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 135 MAZDA MX 5 DAKAR that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MAZDA MX 5 DAKAR was highest during 1997 Q4 (367). The number taxed topped out in 1997 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 133 (36%) MAZDA MX 5 DAKAR have been scrapped or exported.

During 2019 Q4 the number of MAZDA MX 5 DAKAR 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 MAZDA MX 5 DAKAR has fallen by 52. Licensed models have fallen by 125 and the SORNed total has increased by 73.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 17 MAZDA MX 5 DAKAR models. Taxed models have declined by 35 and the SORNed total has increased by 18.

58% of the remaining 234 MAZDA MX 5 DAKAR in the UK are currently off the road.
