HOW MANY MAZDA MX 5 PHOENIX ARE LEFT?

There are 317 MAZDA MX 5 PHOENIX left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 298 MAZDA MX 5 PHOENIX that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MAZDA MX 5 PHOENIX was highest during 2002 Q4 (1,164). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 549 (47%) MAZDA MX 5 PHOENIX have been scrapped or exported.

During 2023 Q4 the number of MAZDA MX 5 PHOENIX 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 PHOENIX has fallen by 420. Licensed models have fallen by 637 and the SORNed total has increased by 217.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 194 MAZDA MX 5 PHOENIX models. Taxed models have declined by 229 and the SORNed total has increased by 35.

52% of the surviving 615 MAZDA MX 5 PHOENIX in the UK are still on the road.
